Not much of a tournament then, eh?

Nobody really cares--The National Women's Soccer League has lower average attendance than Arena Football. The only real interest is in the national team and only against top international opponents. That pays the bills for all pro women's soccer in the US.

It will be such a logistical nightmare to arrange this and protect everyone's safety just so the NWSL can sell some tv advertising spots that I wonder why they bother.

For the NPR folks, do you wear a mask in public?

The world is actually a better place without women's soccer.
