Very late to this, but I imagine that this is downstream of most Chinatowns emerging as ghettos for Chinese immigrants who were barred from living anywhere else, which incentivized a haphazard densification that wouldn't occur in most other environments in said country.

The Market Basket in Waltham "opens" at 7am, but I've gotten there at 6:50 and seen people coming out with heavily laden carts. I think they unofficially open around 6.

A huge problem with the Apple deal is that the brand differention between Apple TV (an app) and Apple TV+ (a subscription service) is broadly confusing and misunderstood, and people don't realize that Apple TV+ and MLS Season Pass are completely separate services.

Outside of Paredes, DC has been committed to being as low on the manufacturing chain as possible.
Selling raw materials (Akinmboni) brings in a little cash, but the real money goes to whoever turns a raw 18 year old Matai into a highly effective 20 year old CB.

Caleb Porter's coaching strategy (Akron, Portland, Columbus) of Have Darlington Nagbe is less effective when he does not actually have Darlington Nagbe.

Timetraveling to late 2023 and showing this quote to a Revs fan would be a very sad thing.

NYCFC has always been a chief offender in this department but it's amazing how many clubs can't post a simple roster, noting who is on a pro deal and who isn't.
Miami posted a garbled mess of a roster announcement this week, for example.

There's the internal CFG dynamic here, but in general MLS needs to move up the manufacturing value chain. Successfully developing a player from age 18-21 is a lot more lucrative than simply delivering the raw materials age 18 (see also: DC/Akinmboni)

This is a dynamic that I really did not anticipate occurring. Selling guys to big Latin American clubs for decent money opens a lot of opportunities for exporting certain types of players, given how reluctant big Euro clubs are to buying MLS guys older than 22 or so.

This guy was crushing UMass-Boston, Southern Maine, and Keene State in the Little East (D3) only five years ago.
