The Kansas City Current has fired the head of its medical department, Carlos Jimenez, for violating the NWSL’s non-fraternization policy, the club confirmed to The Athletic on Wednesday. Multiple sources briefed on the situation said the policy violation concerned a relationship with a Current player.Jimenez joined the Current last December. He worked as a physical therapist for the Washington Spirit last season and for the U.S. women’s national team from 2019 to 2021.“When we learned of (Jimenez’s) actions in violation of club and league policies, he was immediately terminated,” the Current said in a statement. “We remain committed to making sure our policies and practices ensure a safe space for our players and our staff.”Jimenez did not immediately reply to a request for comment.The NWSL instituted a non-fraternization policy, in addition to a policy on workplace discrimination, harassment, and bullying, as part of the league’s reforms following the allegations of sexual coercion against Paul Riley and subsequent joint investigation.The non-fraternization policy applies to all NWSL personnel, including players, coaches, owners, managers, trainers, and any other employees of the league or its clubs. The policy states that “NWSL supervisors may not engage in, develop, continue, or pursue any romantic and/or sexual relationships or encounters, even when consensual, with any employee (including NWSL players or trialists) over whom they currently have direct or indirect supervisory authority or management influence.”A team’s head of medical would fall under the policy’s definition of a “supervisor,” which includes any staff member who could “responsibly direct (employees), including as to performance and medical decisions, address concerns or exert influence over such actions in the interest of the NWSL or a team.”Jimenez is the second NWSL team staff member to be publicly dismissed for violations of the policy in 2024. Last month, the NWSL announced that Houston Dash goalkeeping coach Matt Lampson had been fired by the club following an investigation concerning NWSL policy violations. The league found that Lampson violated the non-fraternization policy and the code of conduct in place for NWSL coaches, and additionally suspended him through the remainder of the 2024 season.
How did you get there and how long did it take you to get out of the area?The end of that match was wildly frustrating.
streetcar is great in theory, but how many people does each one hold? a couple hundred? running every 8-10 minutes, seems like an ineffective way to get out of the area quickly if a lot of people are planning on using it once it's expanded.
went to CPKC for the U17 friendly a few weeks ago, and the stadium food/prices were terrible, so not sure what chicomcat is going on about

The options are amaze at the two matches I've been to. Baba himself from Baba's pantry was there both times! Billie's grocery, High Hopes ice cream, Martin city pizza, Joe's BBQ, Ruby Jean's juicery, Lulu's Thai, Yoli tortilleria, I mean i don't know what you're comparing it to but that's an impressive collection of local restaurants
The prices aren't great but the food at the restaurant spots is a helluva lot better than stadiums I've been to. If you went to the generic burger/chicken tender stands then it's probably different. Mocat's pickle tots from one of those were pretty lol.
The game was fun on Tuesday. A lot of young players getting solid minutes with the vets. I hadn't seen much of Scott. She was very aggressive with her challenges. She'll get her share of yellows but I'd expect a lot of improvement as she gets minutes. Most the concession stands were doing limited menus so that was a little disappointing, but CPKC is still the best stadium food in the business. I thought I had a pissclams sighting but was not confident enough to yell pissclams at a stranger.
