From the point of view of those who experienced it first-hand, see the powerful story of the women's professional soccer players who have been accused of sexual assault. On October 4th at 7pm, E60: Truth Be Told will be airing. There is a time and a place for it.
One day after the release of the findings of a disturbing independent investigation into the NWSL's abuse commissioned by U.S. Soccer, the owner of Major League Soccer's Portland Timbers announced his decision. A concurrent investigation is being conducted by the league and the players' union.
The Fight for Women's Professional Soccer is a new show. On the same day as on the other two sports networks.
The Yates report was the worst day of my life, and I know it's the same for everyone else. It was even harder for those whose stories were made public. I can't apologize enough for the mistakes we made and the gross failure to protect player safety. I apologize.
"Our organization is committed to rebuilding trust and respect among players and staff towards our league and club, and I recognize that my current situation is not ideal," he said. I don't want the attention to be diverted from the players' accomplishment.
In the interest of the club and the players, and fans we serve, I will remove myself from my governance role within the NWSL board of governors and will hand over operational control of the club to our executive team in Chicago.
The Red Stars coach was accused of verbal and emotional abuse by several players.
The Thorns, who are headed into the NWSL playoffs, are being led by two executives who are stepping away from the team. The statement didn't say if the trio will step away from the Timbers or if he will sell his teams.
The Portland Thorns and Chicago Red Stars are supported by the NWSL in their decisions. As the League continues to evaluate the Yates report, I want to assure you that we remain committed to implementing reform and disciplining those who violate the rules.
Berman said that the NWSL's investigative team would finish their report by the end of the year.
The report was filed by Sally Yates, the former U.S. deputy Attorney General. According to the investigation, the two men made inappropriate comments to women.
Cindy Parlow Cone is the president of U.S. Soccer and she is accused of being sexually harassed by Golub. Golub has been criticized for his workplace behavior.
Yates accused Thorns management of not being forthcoming with information about Riley's departure from the team in 2015, writing that the club tried to impede our use of relevant documents.
The Thorns didn't announce why they weren't renewing Riley's contract, but they did vouch for him as he landed a job with the North Carolina Courage. After allegations of his conduct were made public, Riley was terminated from the Courage.
The Thorns' decisions will be overseen by Heather Davis.
It's critical that the process play out with the Joint Investigation and I appreciate your patience, I wrote in my announcement. I love the Portland Thorns and women's soccer and am taking these steps with that in mind.
