What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the decision of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) to retain the legal services of Sally Q. Yates and King & Spalding LLP (on October 02nd 2021) for the purpose of them “conducting an independent investigation into allegations of abusive behavior and sexual misconduct in women’s professional soccer;” [2] the findings of Sally Q. Yates and King & Spalding LLP, which concluded that (i) Mana Shim and Sinead Farrelly were not the only women who were subjected to sexual misconduct, emotional and verbal abuse (by Paul Riley) as soccer players employed by the North Carolina Courage, (ii) Christen Press and Samantha Johnson had filed a complaint against Rory Dames in 2014 and 2018 as a direct consequence of his sexist and racist conduct towards women soccer players employed by the Chicago Red Stars, (iii) Erin Simon was subjected to a very brazen sexual assault in broad daylight on April 21st 2021 by Christy Holly as a woman soccer player employed for Racing Louisville, (iv) Erin Simon was playing in a soccer club (Racing Louisville), where the Head Coach didn’t have the requisite license to be a Head Coach; [3] the USSF as an entity, which is not fearful of the prospect of a complaint filed pursuant to Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act as a direct consequence of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) processing of the charge of discrimination filed by the United States Women National Soccer Team (USWNT) in Calendar Year 2016; [4] the EEOC as a federal agency, which (i) has opted not to represent the USWNT in the complaint they have filed pursuant to the Equal Pay Act against the USSF in Calendar Year 2016, (ii) would most likely have given false hope by encouraging Christen Press, Erin Simon, Mana Shim, Samantha Johnson and Sinead Farrelly to file complaints pursuant to Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act against the soccer clubs they previously played for, (iii) would most likely not have represented Christen Press, Erin Simon, Mana Shim, Samantha Johnson and Sinead Farrelly in a court of law even if they had filed a Title VII complaint pursuant to the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act, (iv) has legally restricted itself from representing future Title VII complaints filed by women soccer players, who experience discrimination at the workplace as a direct result of their 2016 processing of the Equal Pay complaint filed by the USWNT; [5] Christen Press, Erin Simon, Mana Shim, Samantha Johnson and Sinead Farrelly as women, who have (i) opted not to file a Title VII complaint pursuant to the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act with the EEOC, (ii) saved themselves from the heartache of filing a Title VII complaint with the EEOC and then being issued a “Right to Sue” letter.
Please see the attached document that will be sent to Kayla Postler and Megan Philippi for additional information requesting records.
I am requesting a Check Register Report, preferably in .pdf, .csv, or .xlsx format of any and all vendor payment transactions for fiscal year 2022. Please include vendor names, check/ACH date, check number and check/ACH amount.
