North American Soccer League Has Purchased NASL.Com Before Rollout of Website
The North American Soccer League has evidently acquired the rights to NASL.com. Just last week the site was still owned by the North Alabama Soccer League, which is a youth club. As of Thursday evening, a Google search of NASL.com showed the #1 hit to be a site that stated, “North Alabama Soccer League – The Best Link for Soccer in Alabama.” However, going to the link now you will find a splash page which you can see below. All nine teams’ logos are shown on the page but Minnesota’s is a generic instead of the interim NSC Minnesota logo they are using. Atlanta is also listed, but as 2011 and without the Silverbacks logo.
The new North American Soccer League has promised to roll out their web site on Friday at the NSCAA Convention in Philadelphia where the the new league has a booth. IMS has learned that the new website for the league will have some resemblance to the Canadian Football League’s website and developers from MRX are also the architects of the new NASL site.

Ha. The generic MN logo is pretty weak. It should have been a snowman.
Can we please stop with the flying soccer balls?
There’s going to be a lot of pissed off people in Northern Alabama.
Perhaps they were paid (off) handsomely. Though I doubt it….
Well, it is some peoples “Sweet home” but I’ve heard the sky’s are not blue there this morning.
You can’t just take over someone’s domain name so the folks in Alabama had to agree to whatever NASL had to offer. Agree with BQ that it probably wasn’t too much, but a windfall for the folks down south as they can readily come up with a new one. Probably enough to buy some new nets and re-sod a field or two…
I’ve confirmed that it indeed has been sold. Still no details from the North Alabama folks about compensation though.
My DNS server must not have refreshed yet, ’cause I’m still not getting the splash screen.
