FIFA is reportedly sending a demand letter to the United States Futsal Federation to transfer the Trademark rights to the word "Futsal" to the United States...
That's very good to hear. It's the correct thing to do to prevent a single individual from controlling the sport. psb7508 <psb7508@...> wrote: FIFA is...
Its pretty hard to have any authority over a sport that someone else has a claim to ownership. tim sheldon <timsheldon99@...> wrote:That's very good to...
Mr. Para was approached at the US Soccer AGM held last weekend about this. They hoped that such a letter wouldn't be necessary and that he would voluntarily...
This chain of events, as it now seems to be developing, would be a major breakthrough for the sport of futsal in the U.S. I've known Para since 1983 and have...
Paul, Is this a statement of fact made from personal knowledge? Is owning a trademark the same as owning the sport? I don't think it is. In addition, be...
Owning the trademark for Futsal is literally owning the name of the sport, the same name that originated in South America and is used all over the world by...
Paul, I notice you didn't answer the question. I simply wondered whether you were there and know this to be true, or whether you are repeating second or third...
I'm not bashing anyone. It's a real issue that needs to be resolved. If we weren't looking at it, there would be no oversight at all. When someone starts...
I completely sympathize with your position. I beleive that there are indeed a lot of good people doing good work for US Futsal. I used to be one of them. I...

President for life! The Utah Adult Soccer Association has had one President for the last 25-30 years and he will never leave office, so the people that can get...
I assumed from message 288 in this group that Paul Dupre is in fact involved with Super F league. His websites seem to indicate an affilition. ... real issue...
The last I heard that he hadn't yet become formally an affiliate. You might need to ask Jon as it is possible that it could have changed in the last 6 weeks. ...
The Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) should switch to the World Indoor Game. The MISL plays six-a-side indoor soccer with dasher boards for its league games,...
As much as I agree with you, Tim, I have to say that switching to futsal would probably do to the league what low attendance and folding franchises have not...
It's easy enough to see why they wouldn't want to change, but it still seems to me that by playing the world indoor game, the MISL has a better chance of...
I think it is a great idea. It might re-vitalize a sport in need of re-vitalization. We could attract more international players to the US and the quality of...
The world indoor matches could be staged much like NBA games, except that the futsal playing area would be larger. Televising the matches would be much the...
It will take a lot of money and changing the way a lot of people think before it will happen, but I know people like Futsal's non-stop action and the parents...
I know I'm a little biased, but I've always thought it was one of the world's great sports. The NBA could start a league and use its existing arenas. Peter...
Hi, everyone I'm glad find this newsgroup. My present interest is find a place to practice this wounderful sport in Orlando, Fl. I really missed it when have...
