Life on N.J. pro soccer club owned by Gov. Murphy is sad and bleak, players allege

Players and officials for a professional women's soccer team whose majority owner is Gov. Phil Murphy say the team is plagued by poor housing, subpar facilities and mismanagement, according to a report Tuesday by a soccer news website, which called life at the club "bleak."

Players for Sky Blue FC -- which is based in Tinton Falls and plays home games at Yurcak Field at Rutgers University in Piscataway -- have lived in homes with plastic bags for windows and sometimes are made to sleep in bunk beds, according to the report by The Equalizer.
