I was just reading this. Sounds like her and at least part of her group were really wasted and being obnoxious.

Guess they failed at DATW!!!!

She has no one to blame but herself. If you're going to get so drunk that you become belligerent and a public nuisance, you should be escorted out of the park.

More Food and Wine Festival fun!

What's the over/under until we get some posts about how Epcot is no longer a safe environment for their families?

His, from the link, makes no sense: ""As we passed Spaceship Earth, I observed several people being escorted to the front," of the park's U.K. pub, a deputy wrote in the report, as quoted by TMZ and the Orlando Sentinel. "They were all being very loud and belligerent toward staff around guests."

It was misquoted. Read the TMZ story. They were at the Rose and Crown, where they started causing problems. They then were escorted to the front of the park to be kicked out .

Play by the rules and no one needs to get hurt/escorted out of the park. Become belligerent and wasted then it's time to leave. No need to impede others visit to the parks. Quasi fame is no excuse either for ones behavior.

Why can't everyone just be a fun loving drunk?

I certainly wouldn't go that far, I never feel it's unsafe in Epcot, or anywhere on WDW property. But I will say that we don't go into the World Showcase later at night. We don't drink, and I know I'm in the very small minority, but I don't really have interest in being around drunks. Happy drunks, sad drunks, belligerent drunks, no thanks. I know, I know, not everyone get stinking drunk, I'm fully aware of that. But even if it's just a handful, ugh... So for me, it's not a safety thing at all, just something I personally dislike.

I have no clue who Alex Morgan is, but glad she got thrown out.

Sadly, I see tons of truly bad behavior from guests that appear stone cold sober. Wish they'd throw those guys out too.

I’m not afraid for my family or anything, but I would avoid Epcot Friday-Sunday during Food and Wine. Hoards of people and I’m not a fan of being around drunk people.

Those "guys"? Oh, sure, I see how it is...always a guys fault...

Yes. I'm known for hating men, @Klayfish...lol!

The really weird thing was that when the three soccer players realized they might be penalized, they dropped to the ground, grabbed their shins, and started wailing and pointing at the other customers.

Only the men.

Oh - I've known. I remember the first time I'd seen a picture of her on the wall at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley. It was a headshot on a wall of student-athletes receiving endowed athletic scholarships. I was thinking that if she was any good, she would be good for extensive endorsement deals. Back then was when she had her hair dyed. That might have been 2008 I saw it.

We've had our share of attractive female athletes at Cal who had oversized and/or unwanted attention. Alex Morgan definitely got some. There was a volleyball player too who was good, but then got endorsement deals or commercial shoots that were based on her appearance. And then there was the phenomenon that was Allison Stokke. That actually started when she was in high school. She (and her dad) apparently didn't want it, but now she's milking it while she can.

She's probably the best player on the US women's national soccer team.
