They aren't relocating. 205.188.117.9 21:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I am going to make templates for each division's stadiums in the PDL. ColumbusCrew29 19:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering if we should start on the 2009 PDL (as well as the rest of the USL leagues') pages, as I've already got my tables set up, minus the New England Division. With Cape Cod folding, are they going to move some teams over, split the teams up among other divisions, or just have them play as a 4-team division until Portland starts up in 2010? Mtndrums ( talk) 08:45, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I've worked on standardizing the past PDL seasons as well as putting together pages for the missing seasons. If someone can go through and make sure everything's consistent and acceptable (minus not having 2001 playoff brackets yet and 1999 not having a list of changes from the previous season). If I need to add anything or make corrections please let me know. Mtndrums ( talk) 21:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Seems some people are offended about this article including the information that this league accepts men only. Why are people offended? Is the information wrong? Sources say no. Do all readers assume because a sports league is a male only sport league unless it states that it is a female or mixed sport league? Maybe male basketball players or better leagues aren't as macho?

This seems like one of those things that suffers from the fact that it is an American league, where women's sports and men's sports are often held on relatively more equal footing than the rest of the world. You wouldn't need to explicitly state this for, say, the Premier League. Anyone who pays attention to the sport in the US would realize that the league is only male, and it's common internationally for there to be rigid separation by sex. I have no idea why the USL or NBA pages feel the need to state that they are men's leagues since it isn't necessary for either, and I don't see why the need to state this explicitly is necessary either. That being said, it's kind of a harmless addition. I think using "men's" as Red Jay suggested would be good. Jay eyem ( talk) 12:57, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
This type of distinction is not required for sports where the genders are separated across all ages/countries. Giant Snowman 17:47, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
This section is getting ridiculously long. Is there some kind of more restrictive criteria that we can agree on that doesn't list over a hundred different players? Jay eyem ( talk) 01:08, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
US Soccer only recognizes 3 Divisions of soccer in the US - Division I, II, and III. If they have made any changes recently to give recognition to a 4th level, please provide a source with proof that there is 4th level before removing the word "effectively". Or add "unofficially". Thank you! -- Trödel 12:48, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
