going correctly about the business of getting world-class soccer established for us in the United States? The old NASL failed because they wanted to attract the best players they could, and to do so required loads of money. But the lack of popularity for soccer here resulted in empty stadiums eventually leading to the leagues' demise.
MLS was started with 3 men owning all of the teams with the goal of being able to sell them to big time ownership. New York is sold to Red Bull, then there is Chivas having a working agreement with MLS. Does that agreement seem similar to how leagues operate outside the U.S.? Personally, I like the traditional types of names given to teams like DC United, FC Dallas, Real Salt Lake, CD Chivas USA, and the new Toronto FC. I want to see soccer become as popular here as it is overseas and become part of the Premiership community. Your thoughts on the way MLS is growing please.
