Pulisic Highlights Bias in European Soccer Leagues

Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie have both spoken out about the bias against American soccer players in European leagues. Pulisic, a key player for AC Milan and the USMNT, has highlighted how American players are often viewed skeptically and face additional hurdles due to their nationality. This sentiment is echoed by McKennie, who has had to repeatedly prove his worth at Juventus despite consistent performances. The issue has been extensively discussed in Pulisic's new docuseries on Paramount+, where both players share their personal experiences with discrimination. Alexi Lalas, a former USMNT player, agrees that bias stems not only from European leagues but also from within the United States. Despite these challenges, Pulisic continues to excel, with a career-best season at Milan, suggesting that American players can succeed at the highest levels despite the prejudice.
