Daily News | U.S. Soccer promises action after Yates investigation details abuse and sexual coercion in NWSL
. But there is a lot of new information concerning the depth of Riley’s alleged coercion of Farrelly in Philadelphia. He allegedly leveraged his position as the coach in charge as her professional career started in Women’s Professional Soccer, the predecessor league to the NWSL, to force Farrelly into a sexual relationship. He also is accused of harassing other players throughout his coaching career.
“This is near and dear to my heart,” said Cone, a former star player and the Thorns’ manager in 2013. The report notes that during her tenure,“The women’s game is really important to me, and many of the players in this report I know — many of them I’ve coached,” Cone said. “I found the full report shocking. … I just found it really maddening that players had to go through this.”
“Those who were in a position to make a difference, didn’t,” Yates said. “They not only failed to respond appropriately to evidence of abuse, they had also failed to institute the most basic measures to prevent and address these issues to begin with, even as some of them privately acknowledged the need for these things.
“The League’s relationship with the Federation was a source of both confusion and consternation,” the report says. “In the haste to get the League off the ground, the Federation conducted limited financial due diligence on the new league’s prospective owners and did not put in place the infrastructure or planning necessary to support the League over the long haul. Instead, the focus was on putting eight teams on the field.
