The investigation into player abuse in the National Women's Soccer League was conducted by US Soccer. There is a time and a place for it.
The Yates report detailing the abusive culture in women's professional soccer led to the removal of anyone who contributed to it.
"For so long, this has fallen on the player to demand change, and that is because the people in authority and decision-making positions have failed to protect us and they have failed to hold themselves and each other accountable." Who are you protecting and what values do you uphold? In your stewardship, you failed.
The Fight for Women's Professional Soccer is a new show. On the same day as on the other two sports networks.
Every owner and executive who has failed the players and failed to protect them should be gone.
The owner of the Portland Thorns released a statement minutes before Sauerbrunn spoke to the media stating that he would be removing himself from all Thorns-related decision making until a joint investigation was completed.
According to the statement, the president of soccer and the president of business will be held accountable for allowing or turning a blind eye to abuse, as well as the president of business.
Everyone that has failed the players time and time again, who didn't take concern seriously, who didn't pass on information correctly, who didn't participate in investigations are included in her comments. It was all of them.
The U.S. women's national team is currently in London as they prepare to play England and Spain in October. The Yates report was the focus of the attention.
Key findings and what's next were explained.
Managers within the NWSL were accused of emotional, verbal and sexual abuse according to the report. There were new revelations about how the former Racing Louisville manager was fired for touching one of his players multiple times, as well as new details about the allegations against the former Portland Thorns and North Carolina Courage managers.
The players are not doing well We are horrified and distraught and exhausted. It was taken by a third party. It took an article in The Athletic and the Washington Post, among others. It took over 200 people to help us get to this point.
The players are angry that it took the stories of many players to get people to take their abuse seriously.
The U.S. manager was upset with the contents of the report. He said he tried to give his players enough time to process the report in their own way.
It is difficult for the players. It's hard for the staff because we're all affected. We all deal with this in different ways.
Some people need someone to talk to. Some people need time and some people need space. The staff allows the players to think and process and do what they need in order to get over this difficult time.
