The lack of transparency from @usacurl about their internal investigation (such as who conducted it and when, witnesses they reached out to, the timeframe it took place, etc.), without saying when further details might be forthcoming, is deeply concerning to us at Windy City. /🧵

As news of Jeff Plush came to light, Windy City Curling's Board of Directors has been in constant talks about how to proceed as information and/or allegations came out seemingly every day. They were all framed within our top priority: Support the women who curl on our ice.

We consider fostering a welcoming environment for all curlers absolutely paramount to the success of our club, and we know "blanket catch-all" statements are empty platitudes. Focus must be given to players who are historically underrepresented in the sport of curling.

That's why we implemented our club's Code of Conduct, and stand by it. Whether you've curled with us for a day or a nearly decade, you deserve to be treated with respect in our club at all times, by all members in accordance with The Spirit of Curling.

Should that not happen, we have a committee tasked with listening and getting to the bottom of what happened, so that we can help Right any wrong. You can find all of this information on our website here:

We are frustrated (to say the least) by this latest turn of events from our national leadership. Windy City Curling stands by ALL women in sport, especially the brave women of U.S. Soccer who came forward with their experiences, and were seemingly dismissed or under-rug-swept.

We join the growing list of clubs and individual voices across the country demanding more transparency and accountability from @usacurl, as we work to do what we can to ensure #Curling is a welcoming sport for all, led by people who make player safety their top priority.
