The NWSL announced it launched an investigation based on anti-discrimination policy on April 10 after Red Stars' Sarah Gorden said she and her boyfriend were racially profiled by a Houston security guard.
The defender said that after Chicago's game versus the Dash, her boyfriend went down the steps to talk with her. However, she noticed a security guard following, who said her boyfriend, "would be arrested if he came close," Gorden tweeted.
Meanwhile, she noticed several white families were talking, unbothered, with their players near the couple.
"At first I didn’t realize this was a racial issue until I saw white @HoustonDash players surrounding the stadium talking closely to their family and we were the only ones targeted," Gorden tweeted.
