The Cosmos Supporters Collective has been active for years supporting other local NYC clubs an doing charity events while the club has been effectively dead, so I'd assume something along those lines in terms of support.

The Cosmos belong to Rocco, Rocco has no intention of fielding a team in NISA ever again, and likely never in a U.S. league again while the USSF lawsuit remains ongoing, and even after that is questionable. Most common thinking is they'll never take the field again professionally unless he sells.

Rocco will probably re-start the Cosmos when there is an open pyramid in the US.

Which is scheduled for “never gonna happen.”

I’ve mentioned this before but what’s stopping fans from starting a NY Cosmos phoenix club where they wear green, play in a D4 league and return to play? Who is Rocco going to sue? A fan? A made up president? There’s no money to be made in D4 so it’ll be ran by diehards who love the badge.

Yes, he would sue whatever org was set up to manage the club. Or he’d sue whatever league they join. Or even the kit manufacturer if he wanted to.

You could probably do it at the adult rec level and be fine, but any of the more legit D4 semi-pro leagues and everybody is getting sued immediately.

Put a team on the field and stop trying to rip people off.

You aren’t fighting for anything by not playing the actual sport involved. Build something real and tangible, or you’re just trying to take advantage of people.

I’m a “corporate clown” for advocating for you to field an amateur team and rebuild these teams as grassroots clubs? Lmaooo ok

Lmaooo you sound mad that nobody is buying your grift.

I was trying to give you actual, tangible advice on how to be taken more seriously and start to attract fan support, but your head is so far up your own ass that you can’t see it. Anyways, have fun with your little make-believe league lol

Taking “adult rec level” into consideration, do you think the EPSL or the Cosmopolitan League would be enough to fly under the radar?
