[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a new article on the proposed NCSL/WAGS merger up on Potomac Soccer Wire: http://www.soccerwire.com/news/clubs/youth-girls/wags-showdown-tempers-flare-as-girls-league-debates-ncsl-merger/?loc=psw

Reading that story, I'm really confused by what the former WAGS leaders are trying to accomplish by standing in the way of the merger.  If NCSL actually plans to open registration up to girls' teams, it does seem like that would make it increasingly harder for WAGS to stay alive.  Seems better to merge than fold completely to me.[/quote]

Proving once again that soccer in the US is being run for adults not kids . . . hardly the thing needed with the age group shifts this year, which will create enough uncertainty and turmoil.

Yes - better for all involved if there's an orderly transition.  Otherwise there's a huge collective action problem whereby some clubs stick with WAGS, some clubs switch, and it's a mess for all involved to reconstitute a single large league for girls.  (Of course it will sort out over time - it will tip one way or the other as teams either all move to NCSL or move back to WAGS if Girls NCSL fails).[/quote]
