The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that it will implement all 12 recommendations set forth last year by former attorney general Sally Q. Yates in her report on the pervasive abuse and misconduct at the highest tiers of women’s professional soccer.
“Immediately after we released Sally Q. Yates’s independent report, our Board and staff got to work on plans to implement the report’s recommendations and advance safeguarding initiatives that build a culture of participant-centered safety and trust across our sport,” U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement. “Thanks to the many athletes and experts who jumped into the critical work of protecting everyone in our game, we have made substantial progress.
Yates’s report, released in October, found that U.S. soccer officials and team executives with the National Women’s Soccer League repeatedly failed to heed warnings or punish coaches who abused players. The year-long probe, spurred by reports inand the Athletic of widespread allegations of abuse against coaches in the NWSL, found numerous allegations of sexual misconduct had been lodged against some of the game’s top coaches, including some that previously had not been made public.
“Players described a pattern of sexually charged comments, unwanted sexual advances and sexual touching, and coercive sexual intercourse,” Yates wrote in her report.
“On behalf of the entire Board, we look forward to seeing the new ‘Safe Soccer’ framework transform our sport by providing increased transparency and visibility into who is participating in our game so we can better protect players,” said Danielle Slaton, chair of U.S. Soccer’s Yates Implementation Committee and a former U.S. women’s national team member.
