The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) will pay $5 million to players who suffered from abuse following a joint investigation by the attorney generals of New York, Illinois, and Washington, D.C. The investigation revealed the league's failure to address reports of harassment and sexual misconduct adequately, violating federal and state laws. For the first time, the league itself has incurred financial consequences for past misconduct, with the restitution fund managed by former judge Barbara Jones. Moreover, NWSL has committed to implementing stricter hiring practices and enhancing transparency in addressing player safety concerns.
