MLS knows it needs to loosen its roster rules to get better. But how far is it willing to go?
"We will do whatever it takes, and make whatever decisions necessary, that will define our future," Don Garber said this week.
Now he has to back up those words:

If you need to understand what's happening, this farce is a perfect place to begin.
A broken, unhappy man is being given a fake award he doesn't deserve by a corrupt group looking to bribe him and earn favors. It's meaningless, everything he wants, and it won't matter to him within an hour.

The World Cup should uplift workers, athletes, fans, and host communities — not put them at risk. There is still time for FIFA to honor its commitments and deliver a tournament rooted in dignity, transparency, and #HumanRights.
