Busy few days in Major League Soccer as teams have been aggressively signing players, preparing
for the re-entry draft, unveiling jerseys and generally trying to remain relevant in the news
cycle. While I've never personally understood the excitement around the release of a new kit, the
oft criticized Revolution front office handled their unveiling rather well, usual social media to
spread the word.
It took me too long, but I cracked open Long Range Goals, by Beau Dure last night. An inability
to sleep combined with strong writing meant that I also finished the book. Dure you may know if you
read USAToday, frequent SB Nation's MMA blogs or read ESPNw, or if really dedicated you read his
blog (SportsMyriad).
Women's Pro Soccer may not be failing, but it is in danger. Their sanction is in doubt as there
are only five teams in the league for 2012. There is a lawsuit against WPS from a former team
owner. While attendance was significantly up after the Women's World Cup there is an issue about
revenue not being greater than costs.
