Numerous ex-players from Boston University's women's soccer team endorse previous coach following Alex Cooper accusations
Female Soccer Alumni Stand by Ex-Coach Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations
Alex Cooper, host of the infamous podcast "Call Her Daddy," has hurled sexual harassment accusations at her former Boston University (BU) women's soccer coach Nancy Feldman. However, numerous former team members aren’t convinced.
In a letter obtained by NBC News and first reported by TMZ Sports, 99 alumnae, who played for the team from the late 90s to 2022, stand united in claiming that they "categorically never felt unsafe" under Feldman's tenure as coach.[1][2]
The now-retired coach spent a staggering 27 years at BU before stepping down in 2022. Cooper, who played from 2013 to 2015, alleges that Feldman showed inappropriate interest in her personal life, made comments about her body, and questioned her about her sexual encounters.
Cooper contends that her parents supported her accusations, continuously logging every incident she reported during her college years. Alas, reporting these allegations to the athletic director seemed futile as no investigation ensued.[2]
BU has a "zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment" but hasn't explicitly addressed Cooper's claims.[3] In contrast, Alex Cooper has vowed to bring the abusers to justice, stating she will "bulldoze through every f---ing door for all of you out there."[3]
Apparently, the story is still unfolding, and Boston University’s formal investigation findings regarding the matter remain unknown.[2][1]
