Red Stars majority owner Arnim Whisler broke nearly three months of silence Thursday since reports of allegations that former coach Rory Dames verbally and emotionally abused players.
“I have spoken with many players, and the experiences they have told me about are unacceptable,” Whisler said in a statement in response to the Washington Post reports. “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.”
