Sports columnist Sally Jenkins said that abuse within women\u2019s sports has been a long-standing problem, but it\u2019s only recently that there\u2019s been a public reckoning about it.
\u201cThese are some of our top athletes in the country, and nobody did anything. They treated the women like they were the problem,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cThe systemic issue is men in suits at the top of these organizations who do not take complaints from athletes seriously.\u201d
Jenkins joined \u201cPost Reports\u201d to explain how deep and far-reaching abuse is within not just soccer, but many other Olympic sports as well, and why the culture of abuse has gone on for so long.
