How did they ever get MLS next HG in the first place? Were they ever competitive in that league? It seems like giving them a chance in AD would’ve been reasonable.

Sterling advertises hard for the WV MLSN partnership so that's interesting info

We will never know the truth. But everybody knows it is money. Nothing personal kids it is just business.

Is this actually the reason? That would be really messed up if it’s true.

Anyone know why they lost both and didn’t just get demoted? For all the families impacted, what are you going to do? Timing couldn’t be worse.


What do you mean demoted? What's below AD? They are demoted to edp or whichever league they choose and honestly they were not strong enough to be in mls next. It waters down the league if teams are in it that are losing 12-1


They are in HG this year. I meant that it would make more sense for them to be demoted to AD only then to be entirely kicked out. Their AD teams aren’t doing too bad.

There was some kind of weird sports venture business running their mls teams. My guess is it wasnt profitable.
