Insane is putting it nicely. The lead guy was a total jackass.Raptors are absolutely a folding, it's not they switched to a different league.
I don't think it should reflect negatively on the league that the owners were insane, but the team essentially closed shop.
On another note, I really like the New Orleans area broadcast team that covers NOLA matches on TV and streaming there. I don't remember the play by play announcer or color analyst names, but they do a great job.The Raptors was a political thing. A folding yes but it was more that ownership group didn't like the climate throughout the league. Bringing in foreign players and developing them along American players. So they left, that's why I call it a tantrum.
Atlanta it is for me then. I hope they aren't too severely impacted by the passing of their chairman. With them finishing second last year I've also stumbled across a good side without allegations of glory hunting (or Old Glory hunting ).There have been no clubs that have folded. Atlanta has a us coach, Scott Lawrence. San Diego did last year with Zac Test serving as co head coach
They had it rough last yearHere's an article about the Toronto Arrows that I think some of you might find interesting, especially Bruce.

Summing up their first three years is pretty brutal. I note the article is written before Omicron hit so I hope to goodness that by April, when their home games kick off, that they ate able to play in Toronto, infront of fans. I'm pretty optimistic of that. A good shout to have a game in BC following the Seattle game to reduce possibility of a frozen pitch. Hard not to want to cheer on Canadian players given their RWC non qualification.Here's an article about the Toronto Arrows that I think some of you might find interesting, especially Bruce.
