The Women have arrived...again. From the dead.

I will take time off from my colorful venting, and my prognostications of celluloid heroines with a little look at the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). This is a new league that just started, and I have been posting some articles on b/r talking about the adventures of the seven teams taking part in this competition.

This league was forged out of the mess that was the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), and created with a grassroots-oriented approach. Careful expansion and a more responsible take are what will drive the WPS to success. However, the big question is whether or not they can last more than three seasons. Just today I found out that the Los Angeles Avengers are no more. So with the only football teams here in LA-LA-Land being USC and UCLA, perhaps the other code of footbal might see some new converts.

Just about a few days ago, the WPS revamped their site, and the sites of all their teams. So, have a look at what this is all about.
