It's Day 245 of 2016. The unraveling of the NASL appeared to pick up speed today with rumors flying hard and heavy that Ottawa Fury is leaving the league at the end of the season. And joining USL?!?! Ottawa Fury released a statement that said absolutely nothing to put the brakes on speculation: Statement by @OttawaFuryFC regarding earlier rumors today pic.twitter.com/nn6daZjVkn — FuryFanatic❗ (@FuryFanatic) September 1, 2016 Remember THIS IS JUST A RUMOR. But if you add on San Antonio leaving for USL after last season, Minnesota leaving for MLS after this season, the money troubles in Fort Lauderdale and Oklahoma City (and missing turf,) and TV broadcast issues with beIN and One World, its not looking very good. The big pluses right now for the NASL are the stable ownership in Carolina, the expansion team in Puerto Rico this year and the new team coming in San Francisco next year. dN Minnesota played to scoreless game in Fort Lauderdale last night on a cricket field in front of dozens of people.
