we should be clear that “cold weather” is not just Montreal & Minnesota. It’s 33 and snowy in Nashville today. And there would still be 4-5 league games left before a winter break

I fully understand why fans in “cold-weather” markets are very concerned about this. But I also think there’s a lot of jumping to conclusions about this as well as ignoring potential solutions. We’re at least 18 months away from this being implemented. I’d like to see more information.

Finished this the other night and knowing jack shit about Garfield, I couldn't help but think ... was he actually this good of a person? Felt at times like they wanted to avoid too many edges on him (very few politicians look great in a 21st C light).

San Diego FC, a team that paid $500M to get into MLS share a stadium with another soccer team and college football. And the college football team hosts a game on Saturday. So the MLS playoff game is Monday. What an amateur ass league
