The lack of transparency from @usacurl about their internal investigation (such as who conducted it and when, witnesses they reached out to, the timeframe it took place, etc.), without saying when further details might be forthcoming, is deeply concerning to us at Windy City. /🧵
As news of Jeff Plush came to light, Windy City Curling's Board of Directors has been in constant talks about how to proceed as information and/or allegations came out seemingly every day. They were all framed within our top priority: Support the women who curl on our ice.
We consider fostering a welcoming environment for all curlers absolutely paramount to the success of our club, and we know "blanket catch-all" statements are empty platitudes. Focus must be given to players who are historically underrepresented in the sport of curling.

1) There are a few things in life I have passion for, one of those is #curling Years ago, I gave up my dream of being a top curler in Canada for my career. This season my team (team name: The Tragically Skipped) had a fantastic run finishing 3rd in our 42 team league!

2) Now its on to the club championships! We curl at the home of the #Vancouver 2010 Olympics, in the countries biggest LGBTQIA2s+ league. #Curling makes me happy, even when I don't play well! I'm sharing this in hopes of spreading something happy and positive.
3) With all the negativity in the world, I'd love to see or hear about something makes you happy! So drop a picture or reply and lets spread some positivity! @threadreaderapp unroll #curling
