We’re organizing to push for true accountability and change from ownership and executive leadership of PTFC. Tell your friends. Get involved. Save our clubs. #rctid#baonpdx#YouKnew
This league keeps allowing teams to abuse, attack, and threaten players and staff. Jill Ellis is simply the latest person in power who thinks she can get away with it.
Source: Jill Ellis of the @sandiegowavefc filed a complaint yesterday in CA Superior Court alleging Defamation and Intentional Interference with Contractual Relations against Brittany Alvarado about the latter’s comments about a hostile work environment at the Wave.
"The document, which Parker provided last year to a reporter for this story, is a blistering account and smashes one of corporate America’s strongest codes of silence."

Until they secure a new, permanent sponsor it would be cool if the Timbers had the logo of a different local nonprofit on their kit for every home game with corresponding programming to promote their causes. #RCTID
We went through this in Portland. The FO did Q&As which were just gaslighting exercises. Don't fall for it! #GWOut#YouKnew Not Portland! Not Kansas City! Not MLS!
It appears:
1) #SportingKC are destined to repeat the same mistakes of the Thorns and Timbers. A Q&A simply does not do anything.
and
2) They are in no rush to even do the Q&A. It will be months. They’re almost certainly hoping the backlash goes away before then.
Have you seen the backlash over @SportingKC’s latest hire?
Fans have been storming social media behind the hashtag #GWOut calling for the removal of Gavin Wilkinson the past week.
Here’s our story from 6pm with some background and why people are upset.
@LadiesofSKC@jcmack03
@FCUltrasSKC@KCCauldron we've a link tree you can use to read-up on Gavin Wilkinson's mismanagement of both the Timers and Thorns orgs before finally being fired. He is a gaslighter and a liar who will abuse your good will!

@FCUltrasSKC we support you and we are here to pass on any insight from our years long fight against Gavin Wilkinson and the rest of the enablers in PTFC #YouKnew#GWOut
@billoram was correct two years ago! Merritt Paulson must sell the Portland Timbers. He thinks selling the Thorns will make us forget that he knew and hid abuse against players and player's domestic partners! #YouKnew#selltheteam#PaulsonOut

We have a decade of experience with the creep. We all know what he did. There's no reason to sit in a room and listen to him gaslight you. He did it to us. He'll do it to you too! #GWOut#YouKnew
This is how abuse of women is perpetuated. People in positions of power excuse and promote those who enable and cover up abuse. Gavin Wilkinson knew, and @AlexiLalas does not care! @SportingKC#YouKnew#GWOut
Gavin Wilkinson is a great and necessary hire for SKC. He knows the league, has years of experience, and has built winners. He can also help take some things off Peter Vermes’ full plate.
Multiple independent investigations concluded that Gavin Wilkinson enabled and covered up abuse of women. Peter Vermes @SportingKC hired him anyway. #GWOut#YouKnew
Peter Vermes @SportingKC@MLS protect abusers and enablers by hiring men who condone and enable violence against women #GWOut#YouKnew. Gavin Wilkinson OUT of SKC!
Sporting Kansas City supporters are angered that disgraced former PTFC GM, Gavin Wilkinson was hired to work for SKC. SKC supporter @Kevincho_tv spares no expletives explaining who/what GW is and how he is bad for any club. #GWOut#YouKnew
