NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman Issues Statement on Portland Thorns FC
Published on December 1, 2022 under National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) News Release
NEW YORK - I support Merritt Paulson's decision to sell the Thorns, his commitment to aid in a smooth transition for a new ownership group in Portland, and the $1M contribution to the league. This money will be used to launch a new NWSL Player Safety Department - coming out of this chapter in the NWSL's history we will emerge stronger than ever before and make this a league the players are proud to play in. The Thorns, its players, its dedicated fanbase and the entire Portland community have played a key role in our league's first decade and are critically important to the future success of the NWSL. We will continue to work collaboratively to ensure the players and the club have everything they need to be successful on and off the pitch.
