Every case i see for “mls growth” prioritizes wealth at the expense of fans. Bigger franchises fees, more money, more subscriptions, more private equity.
Nothing involved with growing the game apparently involves actual fans who make the game unique.

One thing that always bugged me about the complaints about Clinton and Democrats is that Democrats didn't actually re-elect Clinton after the media reported on his abuse, but Republicans voted for a known sexual predator three times in a row

There are probably business reasons for doing it but as someone who spends parts of winters in both Northern Europe & Northern USA, there is a reason why Scandinavian countries go from April-Nov & take winters off.
And winters in Oslo & Stockholm are not as fierce as in colder regions of N. America.

Sources: MLS owners are expected to vote on flipping to fall-spring calendar at Thursday's BOG meeting. Could happen as soon as 2027.
Also: Changes to competition format expected too, including single league table + divisions.

I might be one of the few people who likes spring-fall calendar for MLS. Gives us some semblance of footie stateside when Europe is out. It's a fun summer/spring sports in the US.

one of the absolute best things MLS has going for it is that it's not on at the same time as american football, basketball and hockey. choosing to forgo that to make it more convenient for europe is wild to me
This would be setting the league back 20 years in the name of being more like ✨️Europe✨️
3 of the top 5 teams by attendance are in SEC Country. Chicago, Cincinnati and Columbus are B1G markets. All 6 of those cities have NFL teams. Competing for views against football is a losing proposition

MLS owners are expected to vote Thursday on changing to a fall-spring calendar that syncs up with many top European leagues, according to multiple sources briefed on the agenda.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.
