"Pigs are flying my friend:) "

"you make an excellent point but you forget one thing, womens tennis has been professional at a high level far longer than women's soccer. It goes back to my point about time. Paid women athletes at tennis tournaments is one of the oldest…"

"I think you may have placed the largest question for women's sports in general. Do women get player playing the sports the way men play them or do sport rules change when women play them. Many women are against changing soccer's rules for…"

"great community call. i think locally it needs to be a greater all community to community. all men sports started smaller, not larger, like womens sports today. "

"We agree state based is best but for small states or certain regions region is best. I have no problem with the CL's changes over the years. Yes, it is unfair but on the other hand, people want to see the best and giving advantages to the best…"

"You know my views, definitely regionality, i prefer by state, but I think the idea of yu and others by geosocial region is fine as welland i referred to the mens CL in my little thesis. I think it definitely has to be like the uefa men's CL.…"

"What is the biggest detriment to this path being chosen LArs? "

"I think the next replacement for top tier womens soccer in the USA shouldn't be another leauge but a US Open Cup for Women designed like the UEFA CL, nothing is stopping it from happening now "

"Semi-pro would be good, they are on the second season of a semi-pro league in England. The attendances are not huge but I don't think the league is reliant on ticket sales to be able survive."

"I don't think ANY fans travelled to away matches. The distances in America are too great.    "

"Both leagues failed for the same reason: there aren't enough fans of women's soccer to sustain the kind of salaries they were paying the players. The next women's soccer league in this country will have to be semi-professional. A few…"

"Why do you think both leagues did not exceed the three years? Do you think that the attendance in the WPS suffered because of the travel distance? I would imagine it is expensive (and long hours) to be able to follow your favourite team round all…"

"Houston Dynamo is a men's team, not a women's team. WUSA attendance was better, which is part of why it was a better league. Yes, it is exceedingly common for girls (and boys) to play soccer here. But just because people play it…"
