It's fucking insane that a USL owner shut down his team and is even being considered to revive the team in two years while his players are shit out-of-luck. And you're being dense if you think it couldn't happen to your team as well. Get behind your players and push for the ratification of the CBA!
Given the NCFC situation, and the league’s shameful response, the remaining owners owe it to the players and the fans to ratify the new CBA immediately.

AV Alta announced 9 moves, then deleted the post after possible fan backlash. However, sources tell us the most shocking departures are heading to USLC next season. It's a lesson for the fanbase - at this level, young talent doesn't (and shouldn't) stick around! Here's the scoop on the departures:
