The National Women’s Soccer League Players Association released a statement Thursday in the wake of a bombshell investigation into the NWSL.
The statement comes after a frustrating 72 hours for the NWSL in which the results from an independent investigation by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Q. Yates and law firm King & Spalding revealed emotional abuse and sexual misconduct across multiple teams, coaches and players within the sport.
The NWSLPA wrote in its statement that “outrage is justified” in response to the investigation’s findings and that the players have chosen to focus their outrage on identifying “everything and everyone” that failed them with hopes of developing ways to prevent the behavior from repeating itself.
