The North Carolina Courage would like to thank the brave players who shared their stories to bring to light the systemic failures of the NWSL and highlight the need for meaningful and comprehensive reform throughout the league. Hearing firsthand accounts from players across the league, including those in our own organization, was a difficult but necessary step in the right direction. The Courage are committed to continuously working towards providing the highest level of player safety and experience and will continue identifying and implementing best practices in partnership with the league to ensure all members of our organization feel safe and supported. We as a club have taken several progressive steps towards bettering team operations over the last 15 months and have already implemented a version of many of the recommendations made by the Joint Investigative Team, as well as various additional supportive measures. We understand this must be an ongoing and ever-evolving process and that the work is far from over. We are grateful to both the NWSL and NWSLPA for their diligent and thorough process throughout the joint investigation. Their work together in an innovative and collaborative way to create a joint investigation exemplifies how this league, the clubs, and our players must work together as partners moving forward to ensure our collective success. We look forward to working alongside the NWSL, NWSLPA and our fellow clubs as we continue striving toward our collective goal of building a better, safer and more supportive league for all.
