Two-time World Cup champ Megan Rapinoe called for the expulsion of two team owners on Thursday in the wake of a report detailing rampant abuse in the National Womens Soccer League .

Rapinoe, an NWSL player for Seattles OL Reign and a noted activist for the womens game, called out Portland Thorns owner Merritt Paulson and Chicago Red Stars owner Arnim Whisler. Both ignored players allegations that their coaches were abusive, according to the report issued by former acting U.S. Attorney Sally Q. Yates.

I dont think Merritt Paulson is fit to be the owner of that team. I dont think Arnim is fit to be the owner of Chicago. We need to see those people gone, Rapinoe said, USA Today reported .
