(Reuters) - Megan Rapinoe said on Thursday she and her fellow U.S. women's national team members are angry and exhausted in the wake of a scathing report into allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

The independent investigation released on Monday revealed player abuse within women's professional soccer in the United States was systemic and that the NWSL and governing U.S. Soccer body failed to adequately protect players.

"It seems to bring us closer and definitely unify the team and it's just one of those sort of intimate environments that we are in that we're used to taking on a lot and playing in these kind of conditions." In the aftermath of the report, Paulson removed himself from the team's decision making while Whisler was ousted as chairman but neither indicated plans to sell the team.

"We need to see those people gone. So people who are fit and who will take care of the game and respect the game and help the game grow and the best way possible can replace them."
