The American Football League for Women agreed to create a fund worth $ 5 million to compensate players who have been submitted to violations and implement reforms to achieve a solution in the surveys launched by Public proceedings after the players have submitted allegations of harassment and sexual assault.
In 2021, players from different league teams revealed allegations of unconducting coaches and officials in posts dating back more than 10 years.
The prosecutor launched joint investigations into these allegations in 2022 and said that the investigation revealed that the League was “saturated with a culture of abuse”.
The surveys have also shown that certain teams were not educated on the history of the coaches, which allowed the coaches previously separated due to misconduct to return to other teams.
The regulation, announced by the public prosecutor today, on Wednesday, requires that the league establish a fund of $ 5 million to compensate for players and implement changes in the league policies to improve the safety of players .
