North Carolina Courage News Release
The North Carolina Courage stand in full support of the players impacted by abusive behavior across our league. We acknowledge our responsibility to continuously examine our organization and our role within the systemic problems in our sport, as described in the Yates report. The details and events are deeply disturbing, and action must be taken to ensure these types of occurrences are never again allowed to happen. The Courage commend the strength and bravery of those that have chosen to step forward to share their experiences.
The Courage commit unequivocally to continuing to implement solutions, improve our processes and take appropriate action on the recommendations outlined in the Yates report. We are dedicated to fostering an environment of equity, respect and player safety in every aspect of our team operations, and look forward to working closely with the NWSL, the NWSLPA and our players, coaches and staff in advancing these values across the league and women's soccer.
Player safety and health is the top priority. Any player, coach or staff member that has experienced, or is aware of, abuse or other non-professional behavior is encouraged to utilize team and league reporting channels, which may be kept anonymous or confidential if they so choose, or contact the team for the ongoing NWSL/NWSLPA investigation directly at NWSL_Investigation@cov.com.
