Alex Morgan apologizes for bar incident at Disney World






Alex Morgan has apologized on social media for an incident at Disney World over the weekend.



Morgan, a star for the World Cup-winning U.S. national team who previously played for the Portland Thorns and now plays for the Orlando Pride, was among three soccer players kicked out of an Epcot park restaurant on Sunday. Authorities say the players were verbally aggressive with park security and other guests.

 MLS players Donald Toia and Giles Barnes of Orlando City SC were also ejected. A sheriff's report says the group began arguing with other guests and workers after Barnes cut in line at the United Kingdom Pavilion pub.

 Morgan apologized on social media Wednesday morning.





"I want to apologize for my actions that occurred over the weekend. I will learn from this (and) make sure it does not happen again," she posted, adding the hashtag "liveandlearn."


The Orlando Pride visit the Portland Thorns in a National Women's Soccer League playoff match on Saturday.

Walt Disney Co. is facing a crucial test of the strength of its ESPN sports empire as a New York pay-TV provider is balking at the Burbank entertainment giant’s contract demands, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. Altice USA is refusing to meet Disney’s demands to carry ESPN and Disney’s entertainment channels, including ABC, saying Disney is asking for too much money, particularly for ESPN, which has been struggling with subscriber losses and ratings declines.
