Growing up in LA in the 1970s and 1980s, we routinely had smog alert days when we weren’t allowed to have lunch or recess outside. Your eyes would sting all the time and if I played outside my lungs would burn at the end of the day. It’s vastly better now. But I guess that’s woke?

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.
