As with former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Q. Yates’ recent investigation for the U.S. Soccer Federation, this report did not hold back in its allegations.
“[C]lub staff in positions of power made inappropriate sexual remarks to players, mocked players’ bodies, pressured players to lose unhealthy amounts of weight, crossed professional boundaries with players, and created volatile and manipulative working conditions,” it says. “They used derogatory and insulting language towards players, displayed insensitivity towards players’ mental health, and engaged in retaliation against players who attempted to report or did report concerns.
The report points out issues within the NWSL’s infrastructure, including a historical lack of background check procedures for potential coach and front-office hires. Among the anecdotes is one about a time in 2019 when Riley was a potential candidate to succeed Jill Ellis as U.S. women’s national team manager.
Portland Thorns and Timbers supporters protest outside Providence Park on Monday, Oct. 3, 2022 after results of a scathing investigation by the U.S. Soccer Federation found that Thorns owner Merritt Paulson and executive Gavin Wilkinson enabled and vouched for former Thorns coach Paul Riley.Riley has previously denied the allegations against him. The report says he “declined to respond to requests to participate in this investigation.
When the NWSL investigated the complaint last year, the investigation’s report says, “multiple staff members reported that LaHue behaved differently around this player. As one staff member explained, there had ‘always been a high interest and attention’ in this player by LaHue.” The Philadelphia Inquirer contacted LaHue for comment after the report was released. She has not responded yet.The league and the union issued a lengthy statement with the report’s release, including a list of concrete steps that either have been taken or will be taken before the 2023 season starts.
