EDITORIAL

WUSA fans in for treat this season as quality of players climbs

After a successful first year launch WUSA shows every promise of settling down into a more even distribution of talent among its member teams, and that should result in an extremely competitive season. The sheer quality and professional spirit of the players won through in spite of being weighed down by all the spin and hype of high pressure advertising companies who showed little knowledge of women's soccer, and who reminded us of the dreadful mistakes made in their portraiture of the men's game in the early years of the MLS....more

Another opinion A couple of things about Shasta's article (once again, she's really a find!) I copied 2 paragraphs, and wanted to share a couple of things with you (I don't know how or if you want to use them) - however there was one glaring (in my view) bad piece of advice that you might want to at least provide another point of view on. more----

Foreword to The Frailty Myth
