The U.S. women's national team is in Hawaii to play its first-ever match on the island. The reigning World Cup champions are also in town to inspire local talent.
They just sent the wrong delegate.
Hope Solo Still Facing Domestic Violence Charges
"I think we have an opportunity to really grow the game here," goalkeeper Hope Solo said, per KHON. "We hope to get some more Hawaiian players on the national team one day, like the old, Natasha Kai, who we still all know and love.
"I think it starts by coming to town and showing the kids you know what? You can do it. We're here to inspire you."

Inspire you to what ... punch your sister in the face and slam your nephew's head onto the cement?
At least, that's what Solo's sister, Teresa Obert, alleged to ESPN's Outside the Lines.
"She grabbed him by the head and she kept slamming him into the cement over and over again," Obert told Outside the Lines. "So I came from behind her, and I pulled her over and, you know, to get her off my son. And then, once she got off, she started punching me in the face over and over again."
Solo's guilt or innocence aside, even Maksim Chmerkovskiy doesn't think the world of her. Chmerkovskiy spent 2011 as Solo's dance partner on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."
"She's just a [expletive] person," Chmerkovskiy said on "Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss," per the Huffington Post. "People can be bad or good or whatever, but if you are just a bad person, you know what I mean?
"There's no excuse for that."
Solo's domestic violence case was reinstated by the courts in October and no trial date has been set yet. She'll be between the posts on Sunday representing her country.
There's no excuse for that.
