A Statement from OL Reign

OL Reign commends the courage shown by every individual who came forward to share their experiences during the Sally Yates investigation and in the ESPN documentary. Their bravery has activated necessary systemic changes to propel our league forward in progress and healing. 

Though this is just the beginning and there is still much work to do, we must acknowledge the hard truths about the history of inequities that have existed within our sport that allowed these failures to occur. We would like to recognize the pain, anxiety and anguish that these investigations and findings have caused to players, staff, supporters and everyone involved.

It is vital for us to actively work to dismantle a system that is in direct opposition to our values. Our players deserve nothing less.

OL Reign looks forward to the publication of the report of the independent NWSL/NWSLPA joint investigation and, in collaboration with the NWSL, is committed to putting in place the people, policies, and processes to keep our players safe on and off the field.

We know it will take a unified effort among all owners, league personnel and team staff, in collaboration with the Players Association, to ensure systemic progress is made. 

Alongside the NWSL and NWSLPA, we encourage any individual with information relating to discrimination, harassment, abuse, retaliation or bullying towards players in the league, to contact NWSL_Investigation@cov.com, or to reach out to the NWSL or NWSLPA directly, or through any other club and league reporting channels.
