I'm surprised more isn't being made of this Foudy comment:

When John Hendricks founded WUSA after the 1999 Women's World Cup, he and other investors asked MLS to draw up a business plan for them. Mark Abbott, MLS executive VP, did so, calling for a partnership.

But WUSA summarily rejected it, and many in MLS felt used. No wonder major MLS investor Phil Anshutz turned WUSA down when the league came looking for money two weeks ago.

"In hindsight the ideal situation would've been to join forces; not have the same investors, but learn from each other, build the sport together," Foudy said. "From the beginning from both sides there was an attitude of competition. I don't point the blame at them; I think we're probably the ones [at fault]."

And besides, people on these boards love to hate Julie Foudy, so where's the fun in pointing out a remark of hers that's cogent and completely without any potential to offend thin-skinned men?
