Carli Lloyd can't get no respect. In Starbucks of all places.
We're sure the barista meant no disrespect to the focal point of the USWNT's World Cup-winning attack, but "Nardley" is not a name.

— Carli Lloyd (@CarliLloyd) January 4, 2016We could easily turn this thing into a commentary on the cultural relevancy of female athletes compared to males, but we think this was probably an honest mistake. Baristas mis-hear stuff all the time, and not everybody is a sports fan, and especially not a soccer fan. We'll give the unidentified barista a free pass. This time.
But, Starbucks we're warning you, don't do it again. Or we'll do something really bad like going to Seattle's Best. Just kidding, Starbucks. We can't stay mad at you. Not with those delicious classic sausage breakfast sandwiches you serve.
Starbucks found out about the snafu, and responded via Twitter.
