Women’s league suspends ’12 season

Soccer Women’s Professional Soccer won’t play the 2012 season amid a legal dispute with an ousted owner. The league’s Board of Governors voted yesterday to suspend the season with hopes of resuming in 2013, the WPS announced. In October, it terminated its South Florida franchise after clashing with owner Dan Borislow all season. A Florida judge ruled earlier this month that the league failed to follow its own dispute procedures when it terminated the franchise, and another court hearing is set for tomorrow. WPS CEO Jennifer O’Sullivan said owners chose to cancel the season over possibly working with Borislow in the league again. Borislow purchased the former Washington Freedom before last season and moved the club to South Florida, renaming it for a telephone call device he invented. The magicJack franchise was repeatedly disciplined for not meeting standards. The league, which has played three seasons, has five teams, including the Boston Breakers . . . The New York Red Bulls acquired Wilman Conde from the Chicago Fire for allocation money. Conde was a two-time MLS All-Star before playing last year with Mexico’s Atlas . . . Forward Kris Boyd, the Scottish Premier League’s all-time leading scorer, signed a contract to join Major League Soccer’s Portland Timbers.
