The International Necromancers Union (INU) announced that the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) was actually still very much alive as the college draft rolled forward.

“It’s not dead, It’s just part of our Goth to Boss program.”

“We were called in to resurrect the league, but it is apparently, NOT dead,” stated Count Denwin of Bogue Chitto, Louisiana.

Despite many fans claiming that the league is, “totally dead this time, ok,” the INU said that nothing could be further from the truth.

“We know dead,” stated Denwin. “And this isn’t dead. I don’t know what it is, but it isn’t dead. We would be happy if it was dead. That’s kinda our thing. This is just a draft. However, I would like to remind everyone in the INU this is why we collect our fees in advance and have our contracts. THANK YOU COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.”

With Catarina Macario’s departure to Lyon announced, many fans took this as an opportunity to, again, claim that the league was dead. However, the INU stated that despite all this the league is still very much alive.

“This isn’t a WPS situation,” stated Denwin. “We can still see a pulse. We tried a lot of things, but you can’t …. RAISE… the living. You can only live with them and all their flaws. It appears that, for now, fans will just have to accept that the league is still alive. The Utah Royals… on the other hand….. Well… We have some spells for that.”
