With two NWSL clubs still currently for sale, NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman said on Friday that the teams — the Portland Thorns and OL Reign — maintain its votes in the NWSL Board of Governors while in the midst of its respective sale processes.
“Until a team is sold, the incumbent ownership group, of course, retains all rights and obligations on behalf of their franchise. So from a governance perspective, the expectation is that they will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business. So it’s really business as usual, from the Reign perspective,” Berman said.
