INTERNET - The United Soccer League (USL) published a verbose Instagram post on Friday claiming that, in fact, they are the ones leaving the MLS B teams and not the other way around.

“They didn’t leave us, we left them,” stated the long winded post. “We told them, first, that we were leaving them and everyone should know that it was OUR decision.”

With the announcements made that some MLS teams would be pulling out of the USL, the league wanted to make certain that it retained the dignity that remains during this painful breakup.

“It was always, ‘me, me, me, me, me,’ and we just got tired of it,” stated the USL post. “What about OUR needs? What about growing the game? What about a pathway to pro? What about having fans actually want to come out to see the game instead of the barren wastelands of their stadiums? They can spin it however they want, but we broke up with THEM.”

For their part, the USL B teams indicated that the separation was mutual. However, this did nothing to calm the righteous anger of the USL as they released a flurry of text messages between them and other teams.

“They were trying to have a relationship with only each other! There was a sordid attempt at some kind of group situation next year! We couldn’t stand the cheating.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the USL posts a screencap picture of an IPhone Notes message that indicates they are taking some time away from social media to work on themselves.
