	SI.com - Soccer - Cash-strapped WUSA folds after third season - Monday September 15, 2003 8:42PM
		The WUSA hoped another World Cup this fall would bring last-minute corporate sponsorships to save the league, but that hasn't happened, said John Hendricks, chairman of the WUSA board of governors.
		The league conceded the timing of the announcement was awkward but said the WUSA had to consider all its employees and players who aren't in the World Cup.
		WUSA players took an active role in the league's management and were involved in the decision to close the league.

	Take time before jusging WUSA.
		The league’s backers believed that the WUSA would almost instantly become the dominant force in women’s professional sports and that the world would beat a path to its door in terms of sponsors willing to pay top dollar top reach a young, female, demographic.
		WUSA officials insist they have more than enough money in the bank to last two full seasons, if no one shows up, and has additional cash pledges to finanace a third season.
		To be somewhat harsh, this means that in any WUSA match, about half or more of the players or more on the field never have been close to playing for their nation.
