Pitchside Report " Ella Masar: No More Silence

This report from a player who went from starter to bench fodder after standing up to the owner of magicJack is a must read if care even a tiny bit about women's soccer. WPS is not blameless, they invited that owner into their nest, but the reasons they want him out come clearer every day.

A bunch of tweets archived referring to the post

The actual post google didnt get a cache of apparently. Site still down (the entire report site, not just this article)

Hopefully just being slashdotted, and not a takedown by Mr. Magicjack.

Geez, what a mess. At first blush it sure doesn’t sound like the Magic Jacks team was a fun organization to be involved with. I expect that this one post will prompt more of her teammates from the Magic Jack team to finally free to express their points of view in support of Ella Masar and also against her. I definitely want to see what kind of substantiating facts other reporters are able to are able to dig up. Regardless, this sure sounds like an old school management style where the authority figures play different groups off of each other to facilitate their ability to maintain control.

A sad day indeed.

Bit scary that he coaches his daughters U-14 girls team.

Hopefully parents read this and keep their kids away.

A bit scary that he has a 14 year old daughter

He sounds like a pimp.

Fox Soccer needs to stop showing ads for his product ASAP.

I realize there may be a contractual obligation FSC feels they have to meet, but it just makes me sick that this man ruined women’s pro soccer and still gets airtime on a dedicated soccer network.

Time to ban the magicJackass

I would think that the USSF has the power to ban Borislow from owning, operating, or being associated with any USSF-sanctioned league or club, and if they don’t they should try anyway. The man is a proven misogynist bastard and just an all-around prick, and has single-handedly set back women’s sports by a decade or two.
