Yesterday I went live on theleadcnn with jaketapper to discuss former Attorney General Sally Q. Yates’ independent investigation into abusive behavior and sexual misconduct in women’s professional soccer. I am heartbroken and frustrated by the systemic failures of leadership to protect the players and the outright lies that have been told along the way. It is a culture of cover-up where those responsible are more concerned about results than humanity.
We are a decade too late for so many athletes who have been abused, told they were wrong and forced into silence. The damage has been done. Change must and will come NOW. To the brave players of the NWSL - thank you for being the authentic leaders this world needs. I support you, stand beside you and will continue to do my part by speaking up. Truth be told.
Scroll right to see part of my interview and I look forward to sharing the entire thing soon.
