After the 2011 Women’s world cups there was a rebirth of Professional soccer leagues from different countries around the world, such as the US, Australia, France, Germany, and Sweden. Although many of the games that the athletes played had no TV. coverage the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) magically survived its first, second, third and fourth year. “Women’s professional sports leagues have often been considered a risky business endeavor. Critics cite low attendance, lack of sponsorships, lack of media rights deals, and numerous other reasons for why women’s professional sports leagues are not profitable.” (McArdle) The NWSL it’s on its sixth year and now the league has a contract with Lifetime an American cable television channel and Go90 an online app that transmits games live to cover their games.

Twenty years ago the United States started their first men’s soccer league. The Major League Soccer (MLS) started out in 1996 with 10 teams and has continued to grow the sport of soccer and the league currently has 20 teams. On the other hand, women’s soccer started a league after the U.S. women’s national team won the World Cup in 1996, but they failed to bring in revenue for the federation. The women are now on their third league and are starting to bring in the same sales as the men. Currently, when it comes to the national teams, the women are bringing in money for the federation while the men are losing the federation money, because they are not winning as many games as

On Friday night Cincinnati Taft invaded Zanesville to battle the Blue Devils in front of a very small crowd. Taft brought 18 fans with them, while Zanesville looked to have close to 175. I have not watched a Zanesville game, in Zanesville with a crowd this small on the home side. As for Taft a few weeks back one of their players told me that not even many parents show up for their games, so I expected the tiny crowd on their part.

Seattle has always been a pioneer. They set all the trends. Many of their laws have influenced other states and even countries. Toronto transformed Canadian Soccer by becoming Canada's first MLS team. The addition of the Seattle Sounders transformed Canadian and American Soccer. Both countries are still reaping the rewards of the transformation.

Never before has our women’s team had the support of fan clubs as it does today. Jonathan Tannenwald is a writer for Philly.com. In regards to what The American Outlaws have meant during the world cup this summer he writes, “I know that AO isn’t the only group that has worked to sustain supporters clubs in American women’s soccer. There are plenty of groups across the country, especially in National Women’s Soccer League markets, who have succeeded in their own ways. But what the Outlaws have done this summer is, with all due respect, far bigger – both quantitatively and qualitatively. (Tannenwald, 2015).” It is hard to quantify to amount of support The American Outlaws have given our women’s team.

They’re all cheering loud for the home team, so they seem like pretty joyful people.

The Sounders ownership group has done an amazing job of maintaining the franchise. It's evident that the fans love and respect the owners. I've heard that the Wolf brothers have a different reputation. They've been involved in dishonest business moves. People love the Vikings but they don't love their

If it was not for these three types of fans, professional football would have trouble making money. The casual fans help individual teams have a good fan base. They might not go to the games but they still have a favorite team and stick with them. The real fans are what keeps money going to these teams, they are buying at least one ticket every season. Crazy fans are the ones who are there watching in the rain and cold. When people are leaving due to bad weather or bad scoring, the crazy fans will still be their supporting their

I mean the MLS is where european players go to die, and American soccer fans cheer for Premier Teams because it is so

Even though I did not get a chance to get inside the stadium, I observed what was happening outside the stadium. As I said above, some of the activities that were happening outside included eating and shopping at the small shops and restaurants around the stadium. I realized that many of the shops and restaurant around the stadium have some sort of collaboration with the Arizona D-backs or the CR because they were selling the Arizona D-backs’ and CR’s clothes and some other merchandise to the fans. It is also a good marketing and adverting opportunity for not only the hosting team (D-backs) but also for other companies to reach out and attract many customers who come for the game.
