Unfortunately I doubt the success of the WWC will tratnlase into better attendance at WPS games in the short run. On the other hand, USWNT games would see good attendance as a result of the team's success in the WWC: think a German-USA game, for instance, in a major market.Borislow & Sahlen created the conditions for the current, third WPS season. But Borislow in particular does not seem to be laying the framework for the future. Will he continue to support a team next year given the extyremely low attendance at magicJack's home games and the many negative comments about his unprofessional behavior? Is the team helping or hurting his business interests?It seems to me that more supporters of the women's game need to make an investment for the long term. In addition to wealthy individuals MLS teams could sponsor WPS teams. Why isn't there more of a push to get MLS teams behind the WPS. In the longer term I believe MLS would reap a return on such an investment.
