The group leading a boycott of the American Ultimate Disc League — headed by Nicky Spiva, Hannah Leathers, Markham Shofner, Jesse Shofner, Elliott Erickson, Claire Chastain, Mario O’Brien, and Trent Dillon — has released the initial list of signatories of the boycott statement to Ultiworld.

The statement reads: “I believe that women and men should have equal representation at the highest, most visible levels of our sport – including professional play. If the AUDL does not ensure that women and men have equal representation in 2018, I will not support it. This means I will not be playing in or attending games, and will avoid consuming related media and content.”

A Google form was shared with players around the AUDL asking for them to sign on to the statement. The organizers also released a statement on Skyd Magazine and have put together a community petition.

The AUDL circulated an internal letter earlier this week outlining the league’s plan to further promote women’s ultimate in 2018.

The list of players below is from the organizers but due to time constraints and the size of the list has not been individually vetted by Ultiworld. If your name appears on this list incorrectly, please contact Ultiworld at [email protected] and the boycott organizers.
