US women’s national soccer team captain says players are ‘angry’ and want immediate changes following misconduct investigation

Becky Sauerbrunn, one of the stalwarts of the US women’s national soccer team, said Tuesday that players are angry and want immediate changes following an independent investigation that found systemic abuse and misconduct within women’s professional soccer in the United States.

On Monday, the US Soccer Federation released a lengthy, scathing report it commissioned from former acting Attorney General Sally Yates that revealed the National Women’s Soccer League along with the soccer federation failed to provide a safe environment for NWSL players.

Some of those players are members of the US national team, the defending World Cup champions. The national team is in London ahead of a match Friday against European champions England.

“The players are not doing well. We are horrified and heartbroken and frustrated and exhausted. And we are really, really angry. We are angry that it took a third-party investigation,” Sauerbrunn stated at the beginning of a scheduled media availability on Tuesday.

The two-time World Cup winner, sitting next to fellow national team defender Alana Cook, was stern in her critique of the lack of action since allegations were first revealed in the media over a year ago.

“For so long this has always fallen on the players to demand change and that is because people in authority and decision-making positions have repeatedly failed to protect us,” she said.

The normal women are finally complaining about the lesbian locker-room predators?

Hmm. I haven't read the whole story. I've only read the headline so I'll reserve my judgment until I know more.

Can you imagine playing and having to undress in a locker room full of pink-haired predators and violent sex offenders?

I think it’s the male coached taking advantage of girl players. So just goes to show coed stuff doesn’t work bc guys are attracted to girls, that’s just how nature works and you have hot sweaty chick’s in shorts running around. Ripe for abuse or other stuff

Probably. That's what I'm thinking. We know the type who are in the business. Jocks. I assume some things never change. Even though we are supposedly "woke" today.

The league might as well fold, all the good women players are playing in Europe now.

The sport would do better if they took lessons from the lingerie football league:

Liberals and media want to but they can’t change God’s biological design and function of the sexes.

They can try though. Let’s see where we are 10 or 20 years from now. Will we learn? Probably not.

The way things are going there will only be one national soccer team with half male and half trans women playing. Equal rights and pay will not be the issue between the sexes.

Except the male and trans players may not need separate locker rooms.

These women have been nothing but whiners and complainers for years. Pretty much sick of them all.

The lesbians are upset that male ownership actually wants to have intercourse with some of the highly attractive heterosexual women who have not been corrupted yet. Only the lesbians can yell at the other women and ownership and coaching are not allowed to verbally motivate other players without prior consent of the lesbian hegemony. Good luck altering the fact that lesbianism cannot change God’s design of what happens when Al Green’s music plays people just want to get it on.

Lesbians are highly jealous when a man intrudes into the romance life of their non-lesbian flock. They are like roosters guarding their hen harem.

EXACTLY THAT!
Knew an athletic femme that mainly played soccer, but softball and volleyball too
She couldn't say enough bad about overly aggressive lesbians coming in to her,
and they often had to be physically shoved away...
