After an op-ed from an Angel City FC player in the NY Post, ACFC have responded and released the following statement:
“In response to an op-ed published on October 27th, we want to make clear that while
we respect the right for an individual to express their opinion, it does not reflect the opinion of an entire organization. Since our founding, Angel City has remained committed to equity, inclusion, and belonging. These principles will always guide how we show up for our team, fans, and community.”
In Meg Linehan’s piece on The Athletic, the NWSL and NWSLPA also released statements.
NWSL spokesperson: “Committed to working directly with the NWSL Players Association on any channges to our league policies to ensure voices are central to our processes and (this) reinforces our commitment to inclusion, trust, and transparency.”
NWSLPA spokesperson: “The NWSLPA serves as the collective voice of all NWSL Players. Any matter of policy must be collectively bargained. Any position the NWSLPA takes on behalf of the collective in collective bargaining is and will be the product of a thoughtful, deliberate process that engages all our members and the issues that are important to them.”
As of today, there has been no further action taken from the club or league.
