As a European, we've always kinda mocked the football culture in the US, it felt like the people didn't get it. But now, what's happening in cities like CIncinnati, Atlanta, Orlando, etc, it feels like they understand why it's a religion in lots of parts of the world, it's great, it's exiting to see the conversion and how the world's game in winning over a country who was mocking the sport not long ago. That's the power of football my friends, the beautiful game is for the people, make it your own.

MLS isn't a closed franchised league because it's new, rather it's because the US/Canada is very large and spread out - same reason why all of our leagues are like this. In England you are never a day's drive away from a 1st-tier or even 2n-tier game. Here, you can have a situation where and entire time zone losses all but one of its teams to the 2nd-tier or lower, with NYC or LA having like 4.

He was a ticket sales rep. My girlfriend and I stopped there because they had the offer to potentially win two free season memberships. Mentioned I'd been to quite a few Cincy games (I should mention I'm not from Columbus, I'm from Dayton). He just said "MLS will never let them in, they're too small of a market".

When you have to focus on getting the the Open Cup final or playing for first in the 2nd tier, its an obvious choice. They had to fit 4 extra games into the middle of their season and chose to focus on those games, it was a strategy and since there is no relegation, there is no downside.

It wouldn't bankrupt many clubs, just the few ones that manage themselves horrifically, which is how soccer has always been. You are correct that the A-League doesn't have pro/rel for that reason. However, I'd ask what do you think is more likely, that every country that has pro/rel is doing it wrong and the USA and Australia are doing it right, or vice versa. Also, soccer is the fastest growing sport in America besides basketball and it is already more popular in some youth areas than American football. It is by no means implausible that soccer is the number 2 sport in America in the next 40 years. Lastly, I honestly don't understand the Dons point. That is a club whose fans were so loyal that when their owner stabbed them in the back they made their own club and had thousands show up to 11th division matches. There is no documented case, from a economically equivalent country, of all the ultras and fans just up and leaving once their team has been relegated.

WOOOOO THATS MY TOWN THATS MY TEAM

my suggestion for the Pro Rel for US is a hybrid of the current model with a lot of classic prorel system. so If I were incharge, you would still need to buy a franchise but instead of $100M, it would be $20M and you'd have to start in Div. 2 Div. 2 would have 20-24 teams and Div. 1 would have 18 - 20 teams. my idea is a working progress. what can you say??

Cincinnati is a soccer city for sure it also helps the Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bengals are totally clueless on how to run a professional team. Cincinnati FC will rule the city for years to come.

Galaxy fan here, and sometimes I just wish the mls would fold. Small town teams are what create an amazing atmosphere and pride in which the teams thrive on.
