Andrea Neil upset over lack of progress in changing a flawed minor sports system in Canada
There are few athletes who could match the accolades that follow Andrea Neil’s name like a post-nominal resume.• Eighteen years spent on the Canadian national team, including four straight FIFA Women’s World Cups. When she retired from the team, she held the record for most caps in history.• She was a two-time W-League champ as captain of the Vancouver Whitecaps women’s team. She was also inducted into club’s Ring of Honour in 2014.
“It’s to speak or not speak. To be or not to be. For Ciara to speak out, and speak what she knows … for many people to have their own experiences or have heard experiences, to remain quiet … are being part of the problem,” she said. “Permissivity and passivity … they’re not qualities that are going to help the situation. So to add support, and certain things that I’m able to speak to, are important, because people did get hurt.
Both the Canadian Soccer Association and Whitecaps parted ways — mutually, according to both organizations — with the coach in the wake of the inquiry. Really appreciate the continued support. More player statements to be released this week. We will not let this go away. We are determined that the next generation of players won't go through what we experienced and won't stop until we know they are protected. https://t.co/G5Rd6jrioA
