A Timeline of the Abuse and Misconduct That Have Rocked the NWSL

The results of the NWSL/NWSLPA investigation were released on Dec. 14, 2022. The 128-page report corroborated many of the findings released in the Yates report while also addressing various behavior and conduct of coaches and technical staff at nearly every other NWSL club. (The expansion teams of Angel City FC and San Diego Wave, both formed in 2021, were not discussed.)

"Misconduct against players has occurred at the vast majority of NWSL clubs at various times, from the earliest years of the League to the present," the report stated, noting that "players from marginalized backgrounds, or with the least job security" were often targeted and then faced "the greatest barriers to speaking out about or obtaining redress for what they experienced."
