The Daily Mail and said that an anonymous letter was sent to the film’s studio Skydance accusing him of 40 years ago having “touched someone outside their clothes and referring to the female athletes he coached by inappropriate nicknames. Kinder in his interview with The Daily Mail denied any misconduct and further said he was shocked at the news from earlier this week that the film will not move forward. Kinder said he was contacted by investigators hired by Skydance after the letter was received and that he and the other subjects of the film, now all adult women, had informed him there was “nothing there” in terms of the investigations.
He added that he is still close with the former players from the Sting Soccer Club team and that the allegations were fabricated. “They’ve all reported back to me that there was nothing. No one knows of anything specific that ever happened.
There was nothing there, nothing ever happened,” Kinder told the Mail. “It’s disappointing news because we all felt everything was just being investigated as it should and there wasn’t anything there, so it wasn’t a big deal.”A representative for Skydance had no comment. Skydance on Wednesday pulled the plug on the film “Dallas Sting” just six weeks before it was meant to begin production and as casting was nearly completed.
The film would have told the true story of how Kinder coached a high school girls soccer team that in 1984 went to China and managed to beat some of the best women’s teams in the world from China, Australia, Japan and finally Italy in a championship game.
