US Soccer Players Urge Congress To Reform SafeSport Policies

U.S. Soccer athletes signed a letter asking Congress to address flaws in SafeSport's processes for handling abuse claims.
The athletes want changes to administrative case closures, SafeSport's exclusive jurisdiction, and the appeals process.
They believe SafeSport fails to achieve its goals and the appeals process can retraumatize abuse victims.
Over 100 current and former players expressed concerns about deep flaws in how SafeSport operates.
The players aim to work with Congress to reform SafeSport and create a safe environment for athletes.
