USL News Release
Friday, November 20, 2009
TAMPA – In response to the Team Owner's Association (TOA) announcement that the Tampa Bay Rowdies
and Crystal Palace Baltimore will be joining a prospective new professional soccer league, United
Soccer Leagues (USL) has issued the following statement:
"Both the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Crystal Palace Baltimore have contractual commitments to USL to
play in the 2010 USL First Division (USL-1) season.
I believe it was only really going to be a matter of time before things got real nutty with this
whole USL/TOA/NASL/USSF mess. The Kartik Report found out this morning that the USL is suing the
Tampa Bay Rowdies, Crystal Palace Baltimore and the Rochester Rhinos for breach of contract.
The three clubs had allegedly committed contractually to play 2010 in USL's First Division but
instead opted to play in the yet to be sanctioned North American Soccer League.

business related. Because of sponsorships, contracts, television broadcast rights and a whole
host of other reasons, the business and law are closely related in the sports world. Here then,
are our top American Soccer legal stories of the year.
