We have a lot of thoughts on this.

The biggest one is that if you support the players on the pitch when they’re putting their bodies on the line (without health insurance depending on the club) support them as people off the pitch. Improving conditions off the pitch will improve the league.

John is a gift lower division soccer doesn’t deserve.
North Carolina is going on hiatus with the loose promise of a D1 return, a decision with huge ramifications for the rest of the USL.

I break down the difficult financial future for the USL's clubs and why the league's upcoming reforms might be make-or-break.

North Carolina FC’s hiatus exposes the cracks beneath the USL’s expressed ambition
While USL arms itself for a push towards creating a top men’s league and adding promotion and relegation, it’s clear more work is needed.

Sure, the Rowdies may have had a shit season, but we have the same amount of 2025 playoff wins as Louisville

Worst collapse in league history imo.
Louisville had all them points but no playoff wins.
