☆ NWSL bans four coaches, fines teams after misconduct inquiry
  + stars: | 2023-01-09 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Jan 9 (Reuters) - The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) has handed lifetime bans to four former coaches and fined the Chicago Red Stars and Portland Thorns $1.5 million and $1 million respectively, part of sweeping sanctions from a misconduct inquiry. An independent investigator brought in by U.S. Soccer found last year that abuse and misconduct "had become systemic" in the NWSL. Former North Carolina Courage coach Paul Riley, Racing Louisville coach Christy Holly, Chicago Red Stars coach Rory Dames and Washington Spirit coach Richie Burke will each be subject to "permanent exclusion" from the league. Arnim Whisler, who owns the Red Stars, and Thorns owner Merritt Paulson have agreed to sell their teams. The NWSL is compelling the owners of both teams to hire sporting staff that is "completely distinct" from their respective men's teams.

An investigation commissioned by the National Women’s Soccer League and its players union found “widespread misconduct” dating back a decade that included instances of sexual abuse, manipulation and mocking players’ bodies. Misconduct against players has occurred at the vast majority of NWSL clubs at various times, from the earliest years of the League to the present.”The league was founded in 2012 and is the longest-running professional women’s soccer league in U.S. history, the report said. Some of those steps include: strengthening the league-wide anti-harassment policy put in place in 2021; enhancing vetting procedures for new hires and establishing an anonymous league-wide hotline so players can report misconduct. “Our investigation over the past year has revealed a league in which abuse was systematic. Some coaches’ misconduct dates to prior professional leagues and some to youth soccer.”This is an ongoing story.
