More on Boston: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/featu...utm_m_medium=t
One sign of optimism is that newer owners are more ambitious; however, women's professional soccer has had a run with an ambitious approach . . .didn't end well.
Only solution may be for more MLS clubs to add the Women's side. Timbers/Thorns is working. However, Sporting KC passed on the NWSL; disappointing. Or, large youth clubs. End of the day though, competing with lots for TV eyeballs.
KC and Breakers both had GDA teams - correct?

MLS is so far behind the real sports it's not even funny.

Interesting except for the "real sports" comment. Obviously if you look only at the US it's not close between soccer and football,baseball, basketball or hockey, but referring to those as "real sports" is a pretty narrow viewpoint. If you add it up by sport, as opposed to by league, however, soccer is at the top.
As an aside, I'm always surprised by the size and value of the NHL.

Good news with Reign, Breakers, Western NY, KC is that they all played in appropriate sized stadiums for the crowd. The only way NWSL survives is they TRY to follow Timbers/Thorns model - shared staff/stadium, etc with MLS teams (there might be some large youth clubs that could support a pro women's team, but probably not if salaries continue to rise). However, No city in the country will draw what Portland does for women's soccer; so we have the prospect of 200 fans showing up for a game at Gillette.
