Washington Spirit co-owner Y. Michele Kang broke her silence this morning and sent a very, very strongly-worded message to fan groups & her co-investors. Holds no punches.

I read this on Twitter as well. Will she succeed in getting the poison out of this club?

League seems to be pretty toxic and ran like a rec league.

Hopefully change comes, but in this America my guess is the old white boys club ownership find a way to force her to sell her shares in the club.

So this is a Weinstein situation? Is this the same guy/coach that people were complaining when he was hired a few years ago? I don't keep up with NWSL.
This person is making big promises and will never see a ROI for the things he is suggesting he will invest in, but more power to him. Hopefully things get turned around.

I can sorta understand why the USWNT chose pay security… because as usual their league is imploding. Sadly.

How far down have you sunk as an entity when FIFA (of all people) is looking to "investigate" your league. Based on the details of Baird's let's say in-actions, maybe it was best for her to resign to begin the arduous task of healing and rebuilding the lost trust in the gatekeepers of the league...

Alex Morgan bringing receipts. And I predict this league is gonna fold too sadly. Not sure about that because there is more interest and more money coming from the communities and women getting invested into these clubs. You can get rid of the higher ups and you can push owners to sell (happened with the Salt Lake owners for MLS, NWSL and USL). You don't have to fold the league. |

here is my take -- if you can't offer women a safe place to be professional athletes.
NWSL has to be shut down!

Wasn't MLS running the league? What do they have to say about it?
