CHICAGO - The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) announced a 2022 season goal, before the first game of the season, to not have a coaches for any of the teams in the league removed for sexual harassment and assault as they said, “ok, THIS will be the year.”
Sources with the league indicate that allegations against Houston Dash coach and general manager James Clarkson happened before the season started as they indicated, “2022 is our NO harassment year!"
“We’ve put in a lot of effort this season to cut down the coverups and the sexual assault/grooming,” stated one league insider who wouldn’t detail what those efforts involved. “This is definitely the year for the league to make it through without having someone get fired. Absolutely. Very certain. Mostly certain. Executives don’t count.”
With every single team having their head coach leaving, this offseason, the league is bullish on their attempts at starting over.
“Granted nearly every single one of the power structures that enabled this are still in place, but THIS is the year that those executives behave,” stated one team insider.
The Nutmeg News will have more on this when the ham handed attempts by the league to protect the players don’t protect the players.
