The NWSL/NWSLPA Joint Investigative Team found that Cromwell and Greene engaged in retaliation and attempted retaliation against Pride players whom Cromwell and Greene believed had made or supported earlier misconduct allegations against them, in violation of League policy. Specifically, Cromwell and Greene were found to have engaged in conduct that discouraged reporting and fostered a general fear of retaliation, and to have taken negative actions against certain players, including by seeking to waive or trade them."
Oh, jeez. does anybody have a spreadsheet on coaches and staff and owners fired and reprimanded in the NWSL? I’m having trouble keeping up. maybe a list of teams that haven’t had issues?
Cromwell's response: pic.twitter.com/TvuZoBqLLd— Amanda Cromwell (@Cromwell_Coach) October 10, 2022 And directly in response to what Cromwell claims above, from the NWSL article, "In June 2022, Cromwell, Greene, Reis and Assistant Coach Michelle Akers raised complaints that they were subjected to various forms of misconduct. The League, through a third-party investigator, conducted an investigation independent from the NWSL/NWSLPA Joint Investigation into these claims. After a thorough investigation into the coaches’ complaints, the third-party investigator found that the coaches’ complaints that they were subjected to misconduct in violation of League policy were unsubstantiated."
Names and specifics have never been made public; we might find out when the NWSL/PA joint investigation report gets released.
I believe it was Amy Turner. She was not waived but they were going to waive her I believe until NWSL put a freeze on Pride being able to trade or waive players (due to the allegations). They bought her out after the coaching staff was suspended. https://www.orlandocitysc.com/news/orlando-pride-executes-contract-buyout-of-defender-amy-turner Social media comments by NWSL players when she was bought out were pretty revealing that they believed she was mistreated by the Pride staff.
