As the National Women’s Soccer League recoils from yet another harassment scandal, the WE League knows it cannot idly watch developments across the Pacific.

The top U.S. women’s soccer league’s 2021 season concluded on Saturday, with the Washington Spirit crowned champions after an extra-time victory over the Chicago Red Stars.

Less than 48 hours later, Red Stars head coach Rory Dames resigned after being accused by several players of verbal and emotional abuse — conduct similar to that which resulted in the firing of former Spirit manager Richie Burke in September.
