National Women’s Soccer League settles for $5 million over historical mistreatment of players


The National Women’s Soccer League has reached a $5 million settlement with three attorneys general over past mistreatment of its players, including sexual misconduct and emotional abuse dating back over 10 years. The league failed to protect its players, leading to investigations and allegations of a toxic culture. The settlement includes a $5 million fund for affected players, with the option for individual legal action. The NWSL has implemented reforms such as improved coach vetting, mental health support, and prevention programs for harassment. The league must provide biannual reports on complaints and players will have anonymous surveys on team culture. Failure to comply could result in a $2 million penalty. Commissioner Jessica Berman has made significant changes since taking over in 2022, including issuing lifetime bans to coaches involved in misconduct and securing better contracts for players. The league has seen growth, with the addition of a new franchise in Denver selling for a record $110 million expansion fee.
