"The Santa Barbara Condors suffered an untimely death recently After barely two months in existence as an expansion franchise in the American Soccer League's Western Division severe financial problems have left the Condors extinct. There are differing views on the exact cause of death — whether it was Commentary financial homicide by the management and league or impatient suicide by the players."
