Washington Spirit star Trinity Rodman took to social media to voice her displeasure with the refereeing in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against the San Diego Wave.
The Wave took the lead in the first half through Jaedyn Shaw — who broke a record previously held by Rodman in the process — before the Spirit equalized in the dying moments through rookie star Croix Bethune.
The match at Audi Field turned physical on several occasions, with the Wave given four yellow cards and the Spirit shown two — including one for Rodman after she protested a call late in the match.
Those protests continued on Instagram two days after the game ended, as Rodman posted two pictures on her story of a clash with Wave defender Kristen McNabb.
The first showed Rodman going to ground under a challenge from McNabb featuring the caption: “This not being a foul” — with a pair of eyeball emojis thrown in for good measure.
The second picture was a zoomed-in version of the first that showed McNabb stepping on the U.S. women’s national team star’s foot.
Rodman was fouled a game-high four times against the Wave, but the forward clearly felt there should have been at least one more.
Last season, the NWSL fined Wave and USWNT striker Alex Morgan for similar criticism of officials on social media. Rodman appears likely to be next.
