Sexual Misconduct

National Women’s Soccer League interim CEO Marla Messing has announced an agreement with the players' association to address demands made in the wake of abuse and harassment scandals that have shaken the league.

The National Women’s Soccer League will not play the games scheduled for this weekend as it deals with the fallout from allegations of sexual misconduct against a former coach. North Carolina Courage Coach Paul Riley was fired by the team following a report in the Athletic. Later Friday, NWSL commissioner Lisa Baird resigned.

The North Carolina Courage announced Thursday that head coach Paul Riley has been terminated effective immediately. The decision comes after multiple former players accused Riley of sexual coercion. The allegations were detailed in an investigative story published by The Athletic.
