Vancouver Whitecaps FC season ticket holders are speaking out about the team’s negligence over abuse allegations about a former women’s team coach, and many fans have cancelled, or are planning to cancel, their memberships. This past February, a blog post emerged from a former player stating their coach had touched at least one player inappropriately, sent sexual text messages to players, and held private meetings in his apartment or hotel room in 2008. In one instance, the coach allegedly told a player she was not in the starting lineup and asked her what she was going to do about it. Last week, the team released a statement noting that back in 2008, complaints in respect to behavior within the program were brought to senior management’s attention, and an independent Ombudsperson was brought in to evaluate the situation. The investigation concluded and no further action was recommended, so the team and the coach parted ways. However, new information came forward, and the club contacted the Vancouver Police Department to “assess if further action or review is required.” Fans were quick to express their frustration with the team’s letter online, noting that they are upset the Whitecaps were aware of the situation and did not act responsibly. They are also upset that the coach continued to coach young girls at a local youth soccer club until he was recently suspended. No one in the organization had the sincerity or integrity to sign their own name to the letter? That tells me how much they are willing to stand behind it. If they gave a damn, ownership and management would’ve signed it themselves. — Mike Rink (@MikeRinkBC) April 17, 2019 Tone deaf. I need you to do better than this #VWFC — Kent Anderson (@kentoncanderson) April 17, 2019 How come there is no leadership shown here by signing the letter with a name of an executive or owner? This demonstrates the fundamental cultural problems right from the top. Get your act together. You’re a disgrace of an organization. — Geoff (@g3offrey) April 18, 2019 Bottom line is @WhitecapsFC your due diligence was not done. What good are criminal record checks if no one reports such activity to police for several years? Learn from this, don’t make excuses. — Janice Meehan (@janmeehan) April 17, 2019 Fucking garbage, that “cover your ass” excuse of a letter. TLDR: “We fucked up, are only apologizing because people are angry. We hate that we got caught being assholes, now you need to get over it and keep spending your money on us.” — Ryan (@coachryan82) April 17, 2019 This is completely unexceptable! Wow. Won’t be attending tonight, and if Bobbie is still there next year, I won’t be, after 9 years as a season ticket holder. — m_daddy (@mikedaddy53) April 17, 2019 Fans have also begun to cancel their memberships. One fan, Scott Graham cited the scandal as his reason for leaving, City News 1130 reports. He called the club’s response to his cancellation as “vague legalese” and is disappointed that they did not address the situation. “Basically, my wife and I chose to no longer support the club financially as a result of this situation … the club handling this internally is unbelievable and unacceptable,” he told City News . Another fan, Brian Gibbard, is a local soccer coach and Whitecaps season ticket holder since 2011. He cancelled his tickets as well, noting that he wants the team to take accountability for the situation. “The latest letter from the Whitecaps was, for me, almost a slap in the face because it was a rehashing of the previous press releases — it was unsigned and shows no willingness, in my opinion, to take any accountability for 2008 and, again, showed an alarming lack of empathy for what the players went through,” Gibbard told the publication. “I don’t think I can look the parents of my players in the eye and tell them I’m still a Whitecaps supporter in the face of all that. So, we’re out.” While the VPD are aware of the allegations that were outlined in a blog post in February by former players, they did not confirm whether or not an investigation is being pursued. As of right now, these allegations have not been tested in court. The post Longtime Whitecaps Fans Cancel Season Tickets Over Abuse Allegations appeared first on TicketNews .
Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will undergo a $35 million expansion, which is set to include a new indoor concert space. According to Cleveland.com, the Hall’s Vice President for Finance, Tim Offtermatt, told City Council that the expansion would connect the Rock Hall to the Great Lakes Science Center in North Coast Harbor with a multi-level structure built into the hillside between both museums. He said the council was interested in “maintaining the sight lines from the downtown to the water and from the water to downtown,” so the structure will not obstruct the view of Lake Erie. “When we have live performances indoors (now), we have to shut the museum down,” he told the council’s Development, Planning, and Sustainability Committee. In addition to the new concert space, the Hall would have an additional 50,000 square feet added to the museum, more room would be added for food and beverages, as well as office and archives. Additionally, new classrooms will be implemented for various educational programs. The lease must be approved by the City Council in order for the museum to lease the city-owned land in between the Hall and the science center. While the Development Committee signed off on the project already yesterday, the full City Council needs Mayor Frank Jackson’s administration to negotiate the lease. They can vote on the project as soon as next Monday, and if it is approved, the museum would begin the 36-month long expansion before the end of 2021. Currently, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has an outside venue where artists can perform. This summer, various bands will perform at the space as a part of Vans Warped Tour ‘s special 25th anniversary show, followed by a gig early August from the rockers of Interpol.

Students from Fordham University are asking the college to cancel Sean Kingston’s performance as a part of their Spring Concert in light of his prior sexual assault allegations. The rapper was slated to perform at the University of Connecticut as a part of UCONNIC, but was cancelled after students protested. Additionally, his show was cut from SUNY’s spring concert in Oneonta after word got out that students were going to protest the event. However, he is still scheduled to perform at Fordham this Saturday, April 27. A group of students gathered together and created an Instagram page titled “StudentsAgainstSean” in an attempt to spread word of Kingston’s allegations. According to the school’s newspaper The Fordham Ram , the group reached out to the United Student Government (USG) to speak of the matter. The USG then released a statement , noting that they are “deeply concerned” with the allegations against the singer and do not feel comfortable having him perform during their Spring Weekend. “While we recognize that under the law, all are innocent until proven guilty, as men and women for and with others, we must not participate in the silencing of sexual assault survivors, rather we are called upon to raise their voices,” the statement read. “By hosting Sean Kingston we are telling survivors that their voices do not matter and that speaking up is something to fear rather than aspire to. We call upon all voices involved in the performer selection process to rescind their offer to Kingston to perform at Fordham University on April 27th and make a conscious effort to ensure that all artists brought to campus embody our Jesuit values.” According to the paper, the group of students said adversaries “suggested we ignore this allegation and ‘just have fun'” since members of CAB worked hard to organize the concert, but they believe this is “unacceptable and we need to hold CAB and our administration accountable.” In 2013, Kingston settled a lawsuit with a woman who claimed she was “gang raped” by the star, his personal bodyguard, and a member of his band after a Justin Bieber concert in 2010, TMZ reports. The woman, Carissa Capeloto, said the incident took place while she was intoxicated after a “meet and greet” with the artist and was unable to provide consent. She was taken to a hospital and treated for physical injuries consistent with rape and sued the three men, however, the criminal charges were dropped from Kingston because Capeloto didn’t have a “credible enough” case. Kingston reportedly settled the case because he was releasing an upcoming album and headed out on tour which would prevent him from fully focusing on the trial, which he suspected would have ended quickly. “Although these allegations did not involve a Fordham student, we believe that in looking past this allegation, we set a dangerous precedent,” USG said. “As the voice of the student body, we feel that it is important in times like these to show survivors of sexual assault that we will stand behind them, no matter the powerful position that a respondent may hold.” No further announcement of the Spring Concert has been made at this time. Kingston’s allegations have come to light amid the criminal investigation of R&B star R. Kelly . The singer, who has been accused of sexual assault for over 20 years, had multiple concerts shut down from the #MuteRKelly movement last year and earlier this year after the release of the docu-series Surviving R Kelly .

Lizzo, the rising sensation known for genre-hopping, wasn’t quite done touring this year. She announced that her first round of Cuz I Love You Tour dates sold quickly, so she’s headed out on another trek this summer. The Cuz I Love You Too Tour will kick-off on July 18 in Troutdale, Oregon, followed by gigs across the country in New Orleans, Miami Beach, Charlotte, Nashville, Denver, Hollywood, and San Diego. She’ll hit a handful of festivals like the Capital Hill Block Party in Seattle, Detroit’s Mo Pop, and Maha Festival in Omaha before wrapping-up in San Francisco on October 27. On her current tour, which runs through late May, Tayla Parx is opening the show. Lizzo emerged in the music scene with her recent LP Cuz I Love You , which features the title track, as well as “Juice” and “Tempo,” featuring Missy Elliot. While she’s known as a rapper, she also dabbles in R&B and pop; at Coachella, she even brought out her flute to perform acapella when the sound system didn’t work, noting that “if they ain’t gonna get the music right, I’m gonna get the music right…that’s why I got my music major.” She’s the musician the country is craving at this moment — a body-positive woman of color who doesn’t fit society’s standards in any aspect of her life, including musically. Instead of labeling herself under a certain genre, she fits a handful of them, reaching a variety of audiences with her unique taste. Check out Lizzo’s full list of upcoming shows below.

Four individuals from one family in Texas have been charged in a scheme to purchase tickets the Masters Tournament in Georgia and then resell the pricey passes on the resale market, according to the Augusta Chronicle . Stephen Michael Freeman of Katy, TX is charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, per the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia . His parents, Steven Lee Freeman and Diane Freeman, and his sister, Christine Oliverson, are each charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. “The Masters is one of the world’s great sporting events, and tickets to the tournament are cherished by their fortunate recipients,” said Southern District of Georgia U.S. Attorney Bobby L. Christine. “Using fraud and deceit to circumvent the Augusta National’s generous lottery system is despicable, and those who follow the rules in hopes of winning tickets deserve better than to have their chances diminished by profiteering con artists.” Charging documents indicate the family purchased a bulk mailing list including names and addresses, then used those to create accounts and request tickets through Augusta National’s online ticket application system, without the knowledge of the individuals whose names and addresses were being used in the ruse. Any accounts chosen to receive tickets to the popular golf tournament led to Stephen Michael Freeman creating fake documents for the identity and changing the ship-to address for the tickets. “Because of the defendants’ greed, they now face substantial prison time if convicted of the alleged crimes,” said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI will always make it a priority to investigate anyone who tries to circumvent a fair process, whether it is the Masters or any other private or public entity.” The charges the family faces carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison as well as fines. USA Today reports that the span of the scheme ran from 2013 to 2017. According to sales data from TicketClub.com , resale prices for the tournament sold at well in excess of the face value as Tiger Woods rallied for his first major championship since 2008 and his first green jacket since 2005. Four-day competition passes sold for an average of over $5,500 per pass, with single-day passes ranging between $1-3,000 on average. There is no indication in the documents exactly how many passes the family were alleged to have received in the scheme.
