More surprisingly, no athletes were listed among the 300 or so entries, either in a generalist or specific category: perhaps, because of the significance of amateurism as a prevailing ethos in sport until the 1960s.

  • Dave Presher Began Work at the San Diego Spirit of the Women’S United Soccer Association, the WUSA’S Mortal Wounds Had Already Been (Self) Inflicted
    By the time Dave Presher began work at the San Diego Spirit of the Women’s United Soccer Association, the WUSA’s mortal wounds had already been (self) inflicted. After blowing through three-years of seed money in an orgy of spending leading up to opening day of its inaugural season, the WUSA stared into the abyss after two seasons of staggering financial losses. Corporate sponsorship badly underperformed expectations and TV ratings barely registered - distressing for a league founded and subsidized by cable television operators. Presher was a 20-year sales veteran of the radio industry, but a pro sports novice. He was expected to apply his promotional know-how to fill seats for the Spirit, a club which already paced the WUSA in season ticket sales. Although brought on as a revenue-side hire, Presher immediately dove into player personnel - transforming an on-field product he found “in shambles“. Trades in the WUSA were rare and unremarkable. The top American players held an equity stake in the league and a say in which cities they agreed to play in. A few weeks into the job, Presher engineered the biggest trade in league history, shipping veterans Shannon Boxx, Margaret Tietjen and Sherrill Kester, along with the #2 overall pick in the 2003 college draft, to the New York Power. In return, San Diego received the #1 overall pick and midfielders Jen Lalor and Wynne McIntosh. The key to the trade was that #1 pick, which Presher used to draft Aly Wagner, the young U.S. National Team midfielder projected to be the best attacking player of her generation.
