The National Women’s Soccer League Players’ Association (NWSLPA) said Wednesday’s games will take place as scheduled but their “demands will be forthcoming” after allegations of misconduct against former North Carolina Courage head coach Paul Riley. We acknowledge that we will not process the pain of the last several days in one weekend or one week,” the NWSLPA said https://twitter.com/nwsl_players/status/1445358197850578947 on Tuesday. “In the midst of statements that leagues and clubs are quick to release, we have been listening to one another. “Today, we stand with Mana (Shim), Sinead (Farrelly) and Kaiya (McCullough) as they continue to tell their stories. The NWSL’s board of governors said on Sunday it formed a new executive committee and U.S. Soccer said it had retained former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to investigate allegations of abuse and misconduct.
