Here's a story I'm late to:The cash-strapped WUSA called it quits Monday just five days before the Women's World Cup, bringing an abrupt end to a soccer league built on the success of the 1999 tournament.... 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. I visited my brother in July, and waiting in Logan airport for a flight back I had a conversation with a woman seated next to me, who was waiting for a different flight that would take her to a WUSA match, where she was the referee.
