Last week saw the NWSL set into turmoil over the termination of a prominent coach, which culminated Friday with all weekend games being cancelled or postponed (unclear as yet), and the resignation of Commissioner Lisa Baird. Baird reportedly knew about the allegations of harassment against players, but did nothing about it. This in only the latest reported incident in a series that go back years, and has involved multiple teams including North Carolina Courage, Portland Thorns, Washington Spirit, Racing Louisville, OL Reign and Utah Royals.
US Soccer has now opened it’s own investigation into what seems to be rampant misconduct in the league.
