The San Diego Wave, marketed as a progressive sports club led by women, faces a lawsuit alleging serious misconduct, contrasting its stated values with the reality of employee experiences.
The plaintiffs include five women who accuse the Wave and the NWSL of failing to address issues like racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and wrongful termination.
Despite the positive image projected by Jill Ellis, the allegations highlight a troubling environment, suggesting the club's internal workings do not align with its public messaging.
The lawsuit's claims, including retaliation against employees voicing concerns, raise questions about the efficacy of the club's leadership, despite its ambition to empower women.
