We've admittedly given short shrift to the fate of the WPS, which announced that it was
suspending operations for 2012. Over the years, we had expressed cautious optimism about the
league both on this site and elsewhere. The three year old league has definitely had some ups and
downs in the last couple of years.
The owners of the five-team Women's Professional Soccer have voted to suspend the 2012 season,
citing the costs associated with the legal wranglings involving magicJack owner Dan Borislow as the

Hartford, Conn., we thought it would be her last game in a U.S. uniform in Connecticut. As it

A lot of teeth gnashing on the interwebs today about the Washington Freedom officially being
renamed "magicTalk SC/Washington Freedom." Talk about selling souls, selling out, bastardizing, WPS

about the weird name and playing some games in Florida and not knowing when or where any games will
even be played.
