John is a gift lower division soccer doesn’t deserve.
North Carolina is going on hiatus with the loose promise of a D1 return, a decision with huge ramifications for the rest of the USL.
I break down the difficult financial future for the USL's clubs and why the league's upcoming reforms might be make-or-break.

North Carolina FC’s hiatus exposes the cracks beneath the USL’s expressed ambition
While USL arms itself for a push towards creating a top men’s league and adding promotion and relegation, it’s clear more work is needed.

Even if we made a run to and thru the playoffs, it would all feel bittersweet.
Now the offseason begins. A new coach can begin to shape this club in his vision. There will be more goodbyes. Less ceremonial.
I hope next season the joy returns. That doesn’t mean wins. I just want the joy back.

I don’t want to say this shit on the pod because I’ll probably just start sobbing so it’ll go here.
A season that should have been a celebration has felt like a season of grieving.
Losing my best friend and cohost, losing an original fan, 3 different coaches, Leo and Forrest retiring.
