None of the allegations by Future Legends are revelations for anyone who understands that the USL decentralized model is very different than the MLS single entity model. The clubs throughout the USL ecosystem are free to pursue their own sponsorship, broadcasting, and revenue opportunities free of meddling by the League. And that the Championship is the ultimate goal for most clubs is also not a secret! The system is set up for ECONOMIC Pro/Rel, such as those USL-L1 with sound finances and good fan base AND especially a stable venue that the club controls, can readily go up to the USL-C.
I need to figure out a way to get the filings and evidence with this case because it sure does read on the allegations IF (huge word there) they have verifiable evidence they are taking the scorched earth approach.
This is not going to be fun to watch because I sense the only ones who win in this case are the lawyers.

More context --former owner is not looking good, with a trail of wreckage that reaches to Michigan and Nevada.

Those are some nasty allegations.
Always keep in mind that it's all they are at the moment, allegations. Hopefully the court can sort them out.

Not a good look for the USL!
That is just an ugly situation
Oof.
