Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Terrible news today: the WUSA has folded.

The women's pro soccer league said that it was hitting its attendance targets, but it just couldn't get enough corporate sponsors to stay afloat.

There will always be pro tennis and golf... but as far as pro leagues for American women, the WNBA now stands alone.

We can expect scores of articles over the next couple days reexamining the same issues: why guys don't watch women, why women's leagues can't make money, why women's sports are boring, etc etc etc. All the nonsense analysis aside, I'm sorry for the players and fans.
