Chicago Stars FC News Release
There are few things in life that I have as much love and admiration for than our Chicago Red Stars. That's why after reviewing yesterday's report, I am filled with sorrow upon reading the many stories and experiences shared by so many incredibly brave individuals who have played in the NWSL, including our beloved club. I am so deeply sorry for what our players experienced during their time spent in Chicago. Our organization is committed to rebuilding trust and respect among players and staff towards our league and club, and I recognize that my current presence is a distraction. I do not want to take any of the attention away from the players' incredible and well earned playoff run. So in the interest of the club and the players, and fans we serve, effective immediately, I will remove myself from my governance role within the NWSL board of governors and will hand over operational control of the club to our executive team in Chicago. I have been and will continue to cooperate with the Joint Investigative Team and encourage any individual with information relating to discrimination, harassment, abuse, retaliation, or bullying within the League, to contact NWSL_Investigation@cov.com, to reach out to the NWSL or NWSLPA directly, or through club reporting channels. I also ask our entire Chicago Red Stars community to continue supporting our deserving players and staff in their pursuit of a championship.
Arnim Whisler, Chairman
