Our new MLS team is going gangbusters, in part because of better value.

If they keep their costs low and ticket prices low, they may get something going.

The WNBA team here does pretty well, too.

- (and I mean the MLS as a whole, not just any particular team) - znufrii Apr 21, 10:22 7
  - they're actually not even close to being as bad as they were, however, I have a very hard time watching it. It's a struggle -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 10:24 6
    - I think a big part of it is the fact that MLS doesn't have the retention power to hold onto talent. Anyone decents jumps ship for Europe. - znufrii Apr 21, 10:28 5
      - to be fair, this happens everywhere. Even in the EPL, the bottom teams or even teams in the bottom leagues lose the best players to the top teams - CQ Apr 21, 10:32 2
        
        which is why I found Kaka-gate so funny. - Reagen Apr 21, 10:33 1
        
        It's silly. People here think Baseball is unfair? No revenue sharing! Nothing is equal! wah wah wah. Look at soccer leagues in Europe. It's disgusting -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 10:35
      - and MLS spenda all their money of David Beckham. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 10:29 1
        
        who was worth it and then some. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 10:30
