After Brazil defeated the U.S. for the gold medal in women’s volleyball, Team USA volleyball player Destinee Hooker lashed out at her critics.
Looking back at her timeline provides a glimpse at some of the disrespectful comments that upset the volleyball star.
One Twitter user stated that Hooker and her teammates believed that they had already secured the gold medal before their match with Brazil:

Hooker denied it:
