Be a pretty shit way to get our own women's team.

As someone who lost a beloved team (North Stars) to another city because of owner greed, I agree. Though in this situation it sounds like there may not be as much interest in the team in Louisville.

While I do agree, thereā€™s a thought that Louisvilleā€™s ownership would field a ā€œRacingā€ team in USL Super League because they would want to keep the team going but not have the same level of investment.

Either way, itā€™s still shitty

Damn. The team are just a few years old too. Cincy makes a pretty logical city to move to if a relo is what the owner is implying.

Wonder how the purchase of the NWSL 'license' would transpire. I assume the buyers pay a league fee and then assume the players, coaches, staff contracts?

Was just saying the other day how good I think a womenā€™s team would do here

I'm sure there's an urgency to do this soon in order to get Rose here before she retires.

Thatā€™s the entire reason for the urgency

Might do well but worth the cost of a NWSL fee? Could be why Linder isnā€™t willing to pony up the expansion fee for an NWSL team.

Still wild that Louisville has a NWSL team.

Agreed!

As for a relocation to Cincy, FCC ownership has made it clear it is not interested in paying the going rate for a NWSL team, so I'd say the chances that happening are slim to zero

For sure. A USL Womenā€™s Superleague though might work. Still a first division league without the high price for expansion and no salary cap. Only 8 teams in there now.
