The fallout is continuing after the release of a report into misconduct in the National Women’s Soccer League. Chicago Red Stars players are calling for owner Arnim Whisler to sell the team.

The NWSL has also dismissed the coach of the Orlando Pride and an assistant following an investigation into retaliatory behavior.
