A National Women\u2019s Soccer League club<\/a> has grown divided after one of its players called on the league to “adopt gender standards” to protect the integrity of the organization and grow the sport.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Eddy\u2019s column appeared in the New York Post<\/a> last week and she asked, “How do we preserve women\u2019s rights and competitive fairness while fostering meaningful inclusion?”<\/p>\n

Eddy wrote that controversies in swimming and track and field have shed light that women\u2019s professional soccer lacks standards when it comes to intersex and transgender athletes. She wrote that the NWSL “must adopt a clear standard,” adding that only players born with ovaries should be allowed to play, following the standard in the Women\u2019s Super League in the United Kingdom, or the league should adopt an SRY gene test<\/a>, like World Athletics and World Boxing.<\/p>\n

“Fairness and inclusion are core American values. Reasonable people can disagree about where to draw lines, but avoiding the conversation altogether by shutting out diverse views does not serve us. In fact, we owe it to current and future female athletes to solve this,” the 11-year veteran wrote.<\/p>\n

But Eddy\u2019s column didn\u2019t sit well with her own teammates.<\/p>\n

Sarah Gorden and Angelina Anderson both offered a scathing rebuke of Eddy.<\/p>\n

“That article does not speak for this team in this locker room. I\u2019ve had a lot of (conversations) with my teammates in the past few days and they are hurt and they are harmed by the article, and also, they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article and it\u2019s really important for me to say that,” Gorden said on Friday.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well. The article calls for genetic testing<\/a> on certain players and it has a photo of an African player as a headline. That\u2019s very harmful, and to me, it\u2019s inherently racist because to single out this community based on them looking or being different is absolutely a problem. As a mixed woman, with a Black family, I\u2019m devastated by the undertones of this article.<\/p>\n

Anderson talked about what she believed the club stood for.<\/p>\n

“For me personally when I think of LA, and I think of Angel City<\/a>, I think of a place that was founded upon inclusivity and love for all people \u2013 that\u2019s what our locker room is, that what our staff is, that\u2019s what our fan base is. Angel City is a place for everyone. It always will be. That\u2019s how it was from the beginning, that\u2019s how it will always be. Period,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I think this situation, there\u2019s an element of timing to it where this feels like another really big challenge that we have to go through as a team on top of an already really challenging year. And it\u2019s definitely not the note that we as a group want to end on, and so I just want everyone to know that we\u2019re doing our best in the locker room to preserve respect and belonging on this team and we look forward to ending the season on as positive of a note as possible.”<\/p>\n

The NWSL reacted to Eddy\u2019s column, too. The league told The Athletic<\/a> it was “committed to working directly with the NWSL Players Association on any changes to our league policies.”<\/p>\n
