The Yates Report is widely known in soccer circles as the definitive, devastating, hard-hitting investigative report into the soccer abuse scandals that rocked the NWSL in 2020 and 2021. We will use Yates' findings to explore the documented acts of misconduct by Thorns personnel, and Yates’ recommendations to mitigate risk going forward.
