Save the Boston Breakers!!
The Issue
Listen Up, Soccer fans and those who are involved with Women's Soccer and the NWSL, we have a problem!! The Boston Breakers, who has been the original team from the WUSA are in the risk of folding before the season begins on March 24th and we cannot let this happen!!! NWSL managing director of operations Amanda Duffy was very specific with her words regarding the status of the team:
"Currently, it's business as usual with the Boston Breakers and we're going to continue to work with them and their ownership to make sure that we remain a 10-team league, and viable in a professional and sophisticated way in 2018."
Late last year, FC Kansas City, the two-time NWSL Champions, were the first team to be folded and all the players contracts were moved to Sale Lake with the new NWSL team, Utah Royals FC and a year before, the Western New York Flash were moved to Cary, NC after winning the 2016 NWSL Championship and called North Carolina Courage.
According to a blog from FourFourTwo USA, the NWSL is in the process of securing new ownership of the Boston Breakers. With those sources, they're being lined up would keep the team in the Boston area and preserve its brand and history. But still, it is said to have significant financial backing, a number of issues are preventing the sale from going through, including the new backers would be able to take over the Breakers for the 2018 season. Rumors reported that the Breakers were almost being sold by Salt Lake.
So what the future holds for the Boston Breakers as of right now?
We would see the tea remain in the market and likely keep its relatively historic branding, a huge positive for Breakers fans. But right now, the league is working hard to keep the Breakers in this league and should someone wanted the Breakers into 2018 emerge, the franchise will likely stay in Boston.
I know the situation on what's going on with the Columbus Crew on the verge of moving to Austin, TX, so please "SAVE THE CREW".
NWSL AND WOMEN'S SOCCER FANS, LET'S TELL EVERYONE THAT WE NEED TO SAVE THE BOSTON BREAKERS AND KEEP THEM IN THIS LEAGUE INSTEAD OF FOLDING!!!
