Chicago Red Stars founder and majority owner Arnim Whisler penned a letter apologizing and calling the reported allegations against former coach Rory Dames “unacceptable.”
The ex-coach was accused by former youth players of sexual, verbal and emotional misconduct in the 1990s and 2000s.
“I have spoken with many players and the experiences they have told me about are unacceptable,” Whisler said. “I am further heartbroken this week after learning about the allegations from former youth players that involved the Red Stars former coach at the youth club he founded. There is no place for abuse of any kind in soccer—or anywhere.
