NWSL must create $5 million fund for players in wake of abuse scandal, settlement states The deal comes more than three years after allegations of harassment, emotional abuse and sexual misconduct sparked a crisis that rocked the league and sport.

DC is the #DistrictOfChampions.

For sports to keep thriving here, players need to be safe from abuse and sexual harassment. That is what we fought to do in this landmark settlement.

And none of it would have happened if players did not courageously speak out about the abuse they were experiencing.
