WPS rips Borislow in legal documents

Update: My story on the situation has been posted at espnW.

For those just joining us: Dan Borislow, who turned the Washington Freedom into a star-studded South Florida team called magicJack last year, is suing WPS over his termination from the league. See the legal documents on his lawsuit, the espnW story on the suit, Borislow’s statement on the suit, and Borislow’s second statement after WPS was not immediately granted Division I status with five teams for the 2012 season.

Today, I’ll have another story at espnW on the league’s response to the lawsuit and U.S. Soccer’s decision to delay Division I sanctioning for next season. In the meantime, I have the league’s legal response to the suit (“opposition to motion”) and its motion to dismiss the suit. They’re PDF files, of course:

Opposition to Motion

Motion to Dismiss

WPS is seeking dismissal of the suit plus legal fees for this suit and the August lawsuit.

  1. Why on god’s green earth the Board of Governor’s (other owners) have the call terminating Borislow without having their league counsel on the call? Hopefully they had some counsel on the line. Otherwise, lots of huffing to counter the plaintiff puffing in the complaint. What a mess. I predict Borislow wins on jurisdiction (as I understand, there is nothing left of the league in SF), loses on injunction and the rest may be moot depending on sanctioning. I see no way league wins on the hypothetical claims it has in one of the footnotes to the motion….just huffing.
