Best of Times, Worst of Times
This should be a celebration. As long as the Board of Governors accept, a new CBA with a substantially better minimum salary has apparently been agreed upon. Two new teams, with Angel City (LA) apparently having sold over 13,000 season tickets already. That might be more than Portland. A real TV con...

Re: State of American Soccer
https://www.protagonistsoccer.com/coverage-blog/newamsterdam-battles-nisa After all these years… It took some time to get this league kicked off. Then they got a couple of the lower-level glamour teams and seemed like they were getting momentum. Now they’ve lost Detroit City (to USL, a development t...
Re: AHL West
Three years on... The NHL gets the Seattle Kraken this fall. Their AHL affiliate... Palm Springs, provided the permits are in order. Private project involving the same ownership with a similar MO (which is to say that a lot of what they envision in the arena will be concerts). Groundbreaking is supp...

Wherefore Salem-Keizer
The minor league casualties in the Northwest League are the Boise Hawks (who will join the now independent Pioneer League) and he Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. That’s arguably 2 of the 4 lesser stadiums in the league, while Everett is arguably in the ballpark, except the Mariners most certainly fancy the ...

Re: Major League Baseball Hostile Takeover Of Organized Minors
First off... I think the 3 people who kept monitoring this board might have had a pool on when the plug would be pulled. There was so little happening here that I awash practically shocked when I remembered it last week and the board was still here. So if this doesn’t take, it’s our fault. ;) “Goofy...

Re: Major League Baseball Hostile Takeover Of Organized Minors
Despicable? Maybe. Goofy? Plenty of that. Judging from the invitations out today, there’s a semblance of rhyme and reason to the overall proposal, but some head-scratchers. Thing is... inevitable. They’re re going to be pressed on paying a living wage to minor leaguers, there’d better be a way to pa...

Re: And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
Time of actual death... two days ago. The analysis over at another site is kind of interesting. Ted Leonsis gave this the three-year ride, wanted to see if the gambling angle would work for that league (and then incorporate it into his major teams), and decided it didn't work for the AFL. It sounds ...

Re: Major League Rugby
I made a little road trip back in April to Denver and Salt Lake (and a little Nevada border town thrown in for good measure). I kind of get a kick out of the Glendale Raptors. Small Denver suburb, bills itself as Rugby Town USA, has what was (up to the middle of last year) the only "rugby-speci...

Louisville. Sacramento. Atlanta?
Who'd have thunk that the WNT political angle would carry over into NWSL and spawn better attendance for the league? Louisville has been announced (2021). Sacramento is all but announced (2020, supposedly). Atlanta is rumored. Supposedly (if we're to believe commissioner-speak, always a proposition ...

It's interesting how much "ego" factors into all these stories.
