It's unnecessarily complex. You almost would need a three year degree in MLS capology to be a GM in this league.

One interesting change not in the CBA is that the league is only taking 5% of any...

^ thanks for looking that up. My comment was just in humour, not serious.

Not in 'Murica. They aren't a bunch of Commies like us Canadians. :rolleyes:

This is really serious stuff.

Much worse of a tire fire than we had in the Anselmi/Johnson era. It calls into question the entire management of the club.

I feel for their fans, they don't...

Better screening is really needed for staff from places where racism is still endemic. It's not just hooligans tossing bananas from the stands, it's still systemic in many places throughout the...

Just having a few strong teams killed the NASL. We don't have 150 years of tradition in soccer where weak teams will be supported no matter what. So a certain level of parity is essential.

For...

Nick Hagglund is probably thinking "now why did I think that coming home was better than playing in Toronto?"

Atlanta becomes the first MLS side to have over a million Twitter followers.

Owner of Miami FC loses his CAS bid to force open MLS to Pro/Rel.

Recent years most MLS clubs are not streaming pre-season games and many of them are closed doors.

It's a far cry from the early years, watching TFC play in Charleston on a dodgy feed narrated by...

Good mention, I've loved that podcast.

:) I think I'm going to see one of those only once in my lifetime. That was a fantastic run.

100-1. That's essentially nil.

Pretty good analogy too.

^ it looks like a circa 1952 TV test pattern.


:prrr:

The mainstream media has been downsizing for years, and sports not called "hockey" have had cutbacks in Canada. Larson, Molinaro, and KJ are all examples of that. Who's paid to cover soccer these...

Pretty funny, given that Toronto's picks are fairly far down and likely to be TFCII material at best. Maybe it's for Canadian content for Canadian viewers?

It's certainly possible, but also with the Revs I think you are seeing the younger generation of Krafts deciding to take things in a new direction and Chicago changed ownership, so it might be...

I think you are probably right, although I'm pretty sure they paid out at least some money in the past.

They could in addition have different classes of shares to balance out ownership values in...

It's actual shares. MLS is a corporation. The expansion owner buys shares in MLS in a complicated agreement that also makes them the operator of a division of the corporation, their local MLS team....

That was a bit of a surprise, but maybe the owners (who call the shots) feel that any further expansion, at least in the near future, would be unwise. Long term viability and schedule concerns...

Same reason the NHL expanded, your reasoning makes sense. The TV profits will be in SUM too, not the league, so the league can continue to "lose money" for tax purposes, giving these billionaires...

^ that book is probably much better researched than what I've read, and yes I'm well aware of how much the 1954 win sticks in the German consciousness (although it was called a "miracle" for a...

I agree, I don't see it soon. It took 30+ years in Germany. Would it be possible for 2036? 2046? I don't know.
