Racial slurs aimed at Leroux were not from Toronto crowd

[CANADA-USA] In the aftermath to the Canadian reaction to her holding the U.S. Soccer crest on her jersey and holding a finger to her lips during thecelebration following her stoppage-time goal that capped the USA’s 3-0 win over Canada at soldout BMO Field in Toronto on Sunday, Sydney Leroux‘s tweet about”racial slurs” only fueled the controversy. U.S. Soccer issued a statement on Monday afternoon, clarifying that the slurs she was referring to took place during Olympic qualifying last year inVancouver and during Sunday’s much-anticipated rematch of the USA-Canada semifinal — not from the Toronto crowd itself.
