Season starts April 16, Anon.

Why do you hate the Best Soccer Players in the World?

Meanwhile our male soccer players are like... 35th.

I always assumed NWSL was bigger than this.
Are there any notable leagues below it, professional or otherwise?

Not that I can see, but remember the MLS only started 20 years ago. It's been tougher to get funding for the women's league, though winning the goddamn FIFA spiked interested and female U.S. players made like 20 times more than the men did this year.
>>
>>66657999
Oh, apparently the rest of them are in the WPSL, which weirdly started the NPSL.

These ladies need better marketing.

They do. But much like movies starring women, "Oh, they won't succeed because they've never succeeded in the past," and with that kind of thinking we wouldn't have airplanes.

I don't think "Bandwagoning" means what you think it means.

On the contrary fellow line-avoider, I don't think you understand what does and doesn't count as bandwagoning
>>
>>66658477
The WNBA piggybacked on the NBA for a bit, with the local men's team kicking in money for the women's team, but (1) they lost plenty of money, and (2) some WNBA teams now operate on their own anyway, in their own cities.

My guess for the MLS is... I dunno? Scared? Profits already tenuous enough because it's soccer? No clue.
>>
>>66658477
Most clubs in the NWSL are partnered with an MLS club. I want to say that SBFC and NYCFC are trying to figure something out and it hinges on stadium plans for NYC
>>
>>66658550
By your definition, any Seattle team = bandwagoning, and that's not how reality works.

>>66658563
A few do have NWSL partnerships or own NWSL teams

Womens football in general is gash but do you only have one team per state even in the mens? Is this the same for other USA sports with regards to an actual top tier team?

>>66660742
It's according to population, much like the UK I'd imagine. London gets all the good shit and then there's nothing in, fuck I dunno, Blackpool or something.
>>
>>66660742
The 30ish most populous cities, with one or two outliers because reasons.

NY and LA get two of whatever they want, the rest of us get scraps.
>>
>>66661194

Manchester has a population of 500,000

Man u holds 75,000

Man City holds 55,000

I'm from Nottingham 200,000

Nottingham Forest - 32,000

Notts County - 22,000

Panthers (ice hockey) - 8000

Notts Cricket club - up to 25,000 (test game)

Nottingham rugby - 1000+

Notts county women - 1000

Newcastle 200,000

United - 52,000

Full every game even though there proper shit.

Dude fuck off, we have a massive music, arts and culture scene. Five London teams in the top tier and an another one in greater London with a combined capacity of 225,000 then all the other london teams in the pro leagues, then the rest of the prem. Sunderland 50,000, Newcastle 52,000, Man u 75,000 Man city 55,000, Aston villa 40,000, Liverpool 45,000, Everton 40,000 and the other teams about 25,000 all in a country the size of Texas.

In the breaks between action in soccer, your blokes run down the field in short trousers.

In the breaks between action in American Football, our televisions show us commercials for beer, pick-up trucks and chainsaws.

Are you actually a cuck or only pretending?

The women made more money in 2015 because they had a major competition that people cared about. The men's team didn't make that much money because no one cares about the Gold Cup.

In years when the men have a World Cup, they easily outgross the women.

You can't fairly compare the two team's revenues in a year when only one of them has a major money-making event.

Women's soccer is semi-pro at best in most countries. Winning it makes you "world champions" the way winning the Super Bowl makes the Broncos world champions.
