Women's Professional Soccer is fighting for its future.

The league is working to keep its status as a U.S. Soccer–sanctioned Division I league, and fighting against a lawsuit from former team owner Dan Borislow seeking reinstatement of his magicJack franchise, which the league terminated last month.

A tough series of outcomes could be facing the league:

U.S. Soccer has granted WPS waivers in the past to play with fewer than the eight teams it normally requires. But at its Nov. 20 meeting, U.S. Soccer's board delayed sanctioning the league with five teams. Instead, U.S. Soccer gave WPS 15 days to expand to six teams.

If WPS can't get a sixth team ready in 15 days or U.S. Soccer declines to give a waiver for a five-team league, it's unclear what the league's options might be.

My taste in television has shifted slightly in these last few months. I find myself watching more and more “bro comedies” as I like to call them—television shows which a large male following, typically of the comedic genre. Maybe it is the fact that I live with four boys, but these kinds of shows have grown on me. A perfect example of such a genre would be FX Network’s The League follows a group of long-time friends Pete, Ruxin, Taco, Kevin, Andre, and Jenny who bond over their rivalry created by fantasy football. The best part about the relationship between the characters is that they’re always at each other’s throats, whether it be rigging the fantasy draft or playing pranks on Andre by making him play the flute to passersbys.
