Messi, meanwhile, has never been sold because he’s the most valuable player in the world. Sorry, Ronaldo.

I moved to Seattle for school about 5 years ago from Oakland (raiders?) and my god will nobody shut up about Seahawks here. It’s definitely a case of non-football fans bandwagoning when we start winning. I hear all kinds of people who clearly have no idea what the rules are arguing about football all the time. All day…

Damn. I was going for spiritually correct.

Steve Nash is already a part owner of an ACTUAL MLS team...

Typical anti-MLS argument:

WHOLE ARGUMENT OUT THE WINDOW THEN

But that makes too much sense and wouldn't allow Billy to write 1,000 words trashing MLS.

IT WOULDN’T. AMERICANS WOULD BE CONSTANTLY CONFUSED. IT MAKES NO SENSE. You’d get the same die hards you get now. The real problem is...no american sports league would be cool with a 4th division team in Fort Wayne or Biloxi somewhere making it to the big league mostly because how would you seat them in a stadium?

Could also be that no MLS team is looking to be sold and an expansion team would take too long to start up.

I don’t understand how the threat of relegation would lead to better soccer clubs. I can understand how a removal of the salary cap would, but not relegation. If US Soccer went the way of British soccer you’d probably have 4 or 5 great teams. Is the threat of relegation supposed to make everyone else better, give them…

Not part of the approved narrative man. Facts can’t get in the way of this indictment.

Not worth mentioning that Nash is part owner of the Whitecaps?
