Daily News | The NWSL and NWSL Players’ Association’s abuse investigation has new allegations across the league
The latest report into allegations of abuse in American women’s soccer was published on Tuesday by the National Women’s Soccer League and the NWSL Players’ Association.
“We have the benefit of what I hope is a cultural awakening around privilege and a cultural awakening around people trying to understand someone else’s perspective,” Berman said. The report points out issues within the NWSL’s infrastructure, including a historical lack of background check procedures for potential coach and front-office hires.
Among the anecdotes is one about a time in 2019 when Riley was a potential candidate to succeed Jill Ellis as U.S. women’s national team manager. Until now, the only reported detail was that LaHue was the subject of a complaint filed under the league’s anti-harassment policy. Gotham fired her on July 9, 2021, and said in a statement seven days later that the dismissal was “based on the results of a league investigation into a complaint of a violation of league policy.”The new investigation alleged that LaHue had a romantic interest in an unnamed player, and published text messages between LaHue and that player.
