Yes, but it undermines the notion that Gamergaters care about "corruption" when the galvanizing force is this paltry shit.

To put it simply: because there are bigger fish to fry.

There are plenty of other outlets you can read if you so choose. Kotaku or any site is not obligated to post exclusively things you want to read.

Take the Money and Limp

"But commish said we aren't allowed to beat anyone anymore."

"Let's CRUSH some 'za, bro!"

Someone has to. It's not like they were trying to lose.

The media markets are an important part of this. If MLS were to relegate one team from each conference this year, they could potentially lose Chicago and the Bay Area.

They'd be better. They'd also play in a stadium that holds 11,000 people on a turf field with Hofstra logos plastered all over it.

With pro/rel, DC United would currently be in the NASL playing in front of sub 10k fans at decrepit RFK Stadium. As it stands, they're first in the (admittedly weak) Eastern Conference and they have plans for a new stadium. The guarantee of MLS is the only reason they have any shot at getting that stadium built.

The Whitecaps responded with an image of Timber Joey decked out in Seattle gear.

But to start with that, you have to know who's representing the shield.

Little Man United struggle to win headers.

No, it's not "impressive," but it's more than enough. It's better than what the NHL gets for regular season games, and the NHL's TV deal is worth twice MLS's current one.

MLS tried what you are suggesting. Very few liked it.

And there's not even the slightest hint that they plan to change it in the near future!

If soccer is going to ever succeed in America, it has to "Americanize", as many have pointed out.

I'm beginning to think we need a new medium of entertainment to distract us from the horrors and severity of everyday life.

Counterpoint: fuck that hurdle.
