The Chicago Red Stars board of directors voted Wednesday to remove club owner Arnim Whisler as its chairman, two days after a U.S. Soccer-commissioned investigative report detailed Whisler's covering-up and enabling of head coach Rory Dames' alleged abuse.
calling Whisler"unfit to continue in his current role as majority owner of the Chicago Red Stars organization," and saying they would boycott"games, merchandise purchases, and other Red Stars events" until Whisler divested.
"We find the reported details of Whisler’s conduct, especially his dismissal of player complaints about the conduct of former general manager/head coach Rory Dames, completely unacceptable and irredeemably harmful to not only players but the club as a whole," the supporters wrote. They also said that the"details in the report regarding Whisler directly contradict what he has told us as a group regarding knowledge of Dames’ abuse."Listen
