San Diego Wave call former employee’s allegations ‘inaccurate and defamatory’

By The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Wave are calling accusations made by a former employee on social media “inaccurate and defamatory.” Brittany Alvarado, who says she is a former video and creative manager for the team, called on the National Women’s Soccer League to remove team President Jill Ellis, the former coach of the U.S. women’s national team. Alvarado cited a poor work environment that took a toll on her mental health in the lengthy post on the social platform X. The Wave responded with a statement Wednesday saying those allegations are untrue and said they were looking into possible legal avenues to address the matter.
