WPS CEO Docks magicJack FC, Blasts Owner For Violating League Standards

Women's Professional Soccer announced Friday magicJack FC, formerly the Washinton Freedom, have been docked a one standings point penalty for the continued violation of league rules, including requiring a display of the advertisers who support the team financially and giving the league office videos of their matches.

magicJack FC, who plays the league-leading Western New York Flash next Sunday in Rochester, NY, also saw their owner blasted by league CEO Anne-Marie Eileraas for comments made in the media she finds disparaging and false.

The teams is now 3-0-0 with eight points, instead of the standard nine.

Eileraas said Friday the league is meeting the team's contractual obligations in those areas now by contacting vendors to handle those areas, with magicJack FC to be billed by WPS for their time and efforts.
