This is weird. Gary Lawless cares about rules and you actually have to pay for the Winnipeg Free Press. It's like words don't matter anymore.

Ah Kelly Kapowski, my first random boner.

I would mention the Colorado Rapids, but then I risk the triple threat of not only the "Soccer, har har" crowd but the "Kroenke'd" crowd and the "Promotion-Relegation" crowd.

Give Seattle credit. As the defending champion heel, they tried to get DQ'd at the end and keep the title belt. Flair would be proud.

I'm just commenting here so I don't get fined.

Can we please not go the way of the original NASL? I will concede that soccer is far more popular in the U.S. than it was 30-35 years ago, but Fat Frank and Stevie G aren't going to propel this sport into the national spotlight. We keep fucking off and trying to be a league of quality equal to those that have existed…

buying lottery tickets and not getting killed by tornadoes are what we do best here in Oklahoma...in that order.

"Need you at the stadium ASAP"

In the case of Bundesliga, only one.

I would prefer to keep the parity MLS has. It's the one thing they have over the leagues in Europe.

"Quite of a failure" nice writing there.

Can we have Sid Meier's Space Pirates?

no one gives a shit about NASL teams. If they want to be in MLS then grow their fan base, build a stadium, and pay the franchise fee alla Orlando City. Cosmos and Strikers are nothing more then the butt of a joke. And will continue to be until they can step up and build a fan base like Orlando, Sacramento, Austin,…

Well, the last time we had that sort of free-for-all, the top league collapsed and burned (remember the original NASL?). Beyond that, there's multiple issues.

Just gonna leave these here.

And the rest of us care even less about your opinion. But thanks for checking in.

LUK MLS STOOPID HAHAHAHAHAH

This is the real problem with MLS, not some silly fight about promotion/relegation. I hope that they are forced to implement true free agency as soon as next year. I also hope that an asteroid crashes into Yankee Stadium on NYCFC's opening day.

Man, promotion/relegation in American soccer is basically the Ron Paul of sports, and basically attracts the same type of cretins and Paultard-style rhetorics.

Oh, God, this shit again.
