The National Women’s Soccer League team North Carolina Courage fired its head coach, Paul Riley, on Thursday in light of sexual abuse allegations made by several of Riley’s former players. Riley is now the third coach since August to be fired from the league because of misconduct, leading members of the NWSL Players’ Association to call for systematic change within the league.
Additionally, Farrelly and Shim recalled Riley forcing them back to his apartment and pressuring them to kiss each other. Shim detailed another instance in which Riley invited her to a game “film session” at his hotel and showed up in only his underwear. Both women, as well as other players who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that Riley had often made comments about their weight and sexual orientation and had hosted mandatory drinking events for his players.

Unfortunately, I cannot share any additional details.” Farrelly received no further communication from Baird. What’s to be done? Among its list of demands, the Players’ Association called for the National League to suspend any league or club staff who are accused of breaching anti-harassment conduct guidelines, no matter when the incident occurred. Furthermore, the Players’ Association has partnered with Lighthouse Services, Inc. to provide players with an anonymous hotline to report abuse.
