MLS has idiosyncrasies, sure, but it's still the same game. The quality has improved by leaps and bounds. New stadia are being built. Attendance continues to increase. More and more quality players are being brought in. The worst players in the league no longer look like they'd be overmatched in a Sunday amateur game. Like I said, it will never be confused for the top Euro leagues, but it IS snobbish to say that it sucks because you grew up watching the best of the best. |

Though the socialist model of MLS runs contrary to the beliefs of this entrepreneurial capitalist (when it comes to sports leagues, not society in general), it has helped create the necessary stability for young professionals to ply their trade for almost two decades now. The overall quality of the football is certainly superior to the old NASL, but it will always fall short of world standards. After all, soccer is like the fifth or sixth most popular pro sport in the US, so why should we expect a better product? I watch on TV and go to a few Earthquake games every year. The game is played on smaller pitches at a break-neck pace, but there are many moments of brilliance that make watching worthwhile. I still say a promo/relegation model is necessary to spread the game's popularity at the grassroots level. Screw Don Garber and his nay saying on this matter. |
