Brandi Chastain is one of the greatest and most decorated American soccer players in history. She’s won the FIFA Women’s World Cup twice. She’s a two-time Summer Olympics gold medalist. As a defender, she still managed to score 30 goals for Team USA including a World Cup-winning penalty shootout against China in the 1999 Women’s World Cup Final.

She’s a complete badass on the field, and she’s also gorgeous. Yes, by all objective measures Brandi Chastain is a beautiful woman. At the age of 49, she’s still a stunning beauty. Unfortunately, whoever created her bronze plaque for the San Francisco Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame didn’t get this memo because HOLY SHIT this thing is horrendous. It’s even worse than the now infamous Ronaldo statue that was so bad it got tossed out after a few years. Just look at this trash:

And here’s that fucking weird plaque again with Brandi Chastain reacting to the sight of it:

Already, people on Twitter are freaking out over how ridiculous this plaque is. A lot of people are saying that the Bay Area Hall of Fame needs to immediately take this down and get to work on creating a new one. I’m torn here because when the horrendous Cristiano Ronaldo statue was debuted I wanted them to leave it up for a few months/years just so the artist could feel the shame but I thought it should ultimately be taken down. I think I’m feeling the same way with this Brandi Chastain plaque. It should stay up while they create a new one so the artist is forced to confront the reality of how shitty their work is, but I definitely think it should get swapped out at some point because it’s just painfully bad.
