Portland, OR - Releasing a letter to the general populace, Portland Thorns owner Merritt Paulson stated, “Someone should really get the Portland Thorns organization under control,” before adding that he was shocked, today, at the revelations that he received via email 6 years ago.
“Had I known at all today that I’d be reading about the relevations that I received 6 years ago my past self would be stunned,” stated Paulson in an open letter to fans. “I wouldn’t have sent fawning communications and general banter publicly to the man accused of abuse if I had known now what I knew then. That would just be considered insanely inappropriate.”
The Thorns owner then blasted the out of control culture of permissive toxicity that permeated the Thorns front office as he announced an investigation into whoever was responsible for the culture of the Thorns front office by, “whatever method I feel is best.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the investigation started by the people who did the previous investigation finds that the previous investigation was valid.
