January 17, 2021

The Western Ultimate League (WUL) was born through the collaborative efforts of individual teams that believe that women and non-binary athletes in the sport of ultimate deserve to be showcased. 

There is no question that we live in an imperfect world, which is why the league has responded to the calls to ensure that our organization operates equitably. But we would be remiss not to acknowledge that individuals who are on our board, and many on the individual teams' leaderships, have already been proactive about committing to cultivating an inclusive organization and being advocates for underrepresented athletes.

While it is disappointing to learn that the Swifts wish to engage in this journey on their own, the WUL respects the choice of the Swifts to make decisions in their best interest and wishes them the best.

Sincerely,

WUL Leadership
