USL the better choice

Sat., Dec. 18, 2021

I was pleased to see that Spokane decided to go with the United Soccer League team vs. a sudden change in direction decision for a non-existent MLS farm team. The USL folks have done a wonderful job inviting ordinary citizens of Spokane to become part of this team and help guide its direction including input on the name and crest.

Plus a women’s team? Great job! I’ve sent in my deposit for season tickets today!
