Abuse in U.S. soccer: Ex-player Mana Shim to head task force
Mana Shim, a former National Women's Soccer League and the U.S. under-23 national team player, will chair the U.S. Soccer Federation's taskforce to prevent the abuse and harassment of women that was found to be systemic in the sport.
The USSF created a participant safety taskforce following a report issued Oct. 3 by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates.
"There's still so much that needs to be done when it comes to changing the culture of soccer in this country," Shim said in a statement on Monday. "I believe we have an opportunity in this moment to protect players and set a new standard for all sports. We don't have any time to waste."
