The Fury on the other hand, I think it makes sense. They have a league at a similar level of play in their own country. They were going to be given salary cap concessions to join CPL. And they chose not to. This was entirely preventable on their end. I feel bad for the supporters, but the club crying foul is just not cutting it.
I disagree. Either you accept cross border teams, or you don't. Bullying Ottawa on this, at this time, when we all know they will never say one word against Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal is petty. Especially given both the CSA and USA Soccer have approved it.
