This is part 1 of a 4-part podcast.
Yesterday, the North American Soccer League (NASL) - which was recently desanctioned by the US Soccer Federation (see Episode 242) - filed an antitrust lawsuit against USSF in US federal court.
The basics of the lawsuit: that USSF co-conspired with MLS, SUM and USL to destroy the NASL.
Consider this: NASL, which is currently a second division league, applied for resanctioning asking for only 2 waivers of USSF guidelines. USL, also (and inexplicably) a second division league, asked for 20 waivers. Need I say more?
This, combined with the lawsuit before the Court of Arbitration for Sport brought by one NASL owner over USSF ignoring FIFA bylaws, could hopefully mean that USSF is finally in deep, deep trouble.
Mike will be reading and giving his thoughts on the lawsuit. It is a 71 page document, so it will take a while.
