The National Women’s Soccer League (NWLS) stated that they will be using the total fines they took in from the first week of play in order to fund a new team in San Diego.

“We remain bullish on starting new teams across the United States and possibly even Canada if people keep on getting these fines,” stated Heather Snyder of the NWSL.

Sources indicate that the fines from the Portland Thorns v FC Kansas City game alone will be enough to buy land and start construction on a new stadium in San Diego.

“We are hopeful that this level of acrimony continues on and on,” stated one insider. “If we keep on fining people at this rate we are going to have teams in San Diego, Tulsa, Edmonton and Dallas!”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the NWSL just offers a pre-fine contribution box for CERTAIN owners.
