Wait - WPS was still in business? A five-team league with one franchise called "magicJack"?

So...does this mean that Alex Morgan will be available, and looking to earn some money?

If she's looking for work, I have a position for her.

Borislow purchased the former Washington Freedom before last season and moved the club to South Florida, renaming it for a telephone call device he invented. The magicJack franchise was repeatedly disciplined during the season for not meeting league standards.

Which was the problem owner to begin with.

I watched a couple games last year. I like womens soccer more because they spend less time on their backs, biatching about other players. Oddly enough...

I have to be honest. Watching Women's Soccer is not nearly as painful as watching Women's Basketball. I watched a few WPS games last year, it wasn't that bad.

The owner of that team (I won't mention it) is a supreme dick though. I think this is what MLB fears if they let Cuban in "the club".

I agree, it's a case of the owner being a mega-supreme dick.

At least the national team could win a championship once and a while, so I thought that the WPS would be half-decent. Went to a Boston WPS game once, it was Girl Scout night, I think I left at the half because my ears we bleeding from all the high pitched screaming.

/Would support them more if they had better players and marketing
