I joined my local american outlaws chapter but i left since all the matches start at 4PM or some other NEET time
Is this what's stopping us from even being decent at soccer? Will we ever get a world class player?

they still give those seats away, those are the ones they discount with the group packages for all the youth teams.
the only people paying full price are the fight-and-win hipster crowd.

It is the idea of one company, Populous/HOK who owns the majority of teams and owns the stadiums.
The MLS is just a stadium real estate holding company.
>>66626033
Really?
>David Noyes
>>66626039
lPretty much
IIRC they also own the majority of player contracts as wel
>>66626039
the new business model was to own their own stadium, declare the football stadiums 'too large' and 'outdated' and get soccer specific stadiums built that they own.
They can then rent the stadiums out for concerts and take that plus all the concession revenues.
That is how the MLS is not bankrupt.
>>66626019
Most MLS fans are MLS fans because they desperately want to be European.
People who actually enjoy soccer in the U.S. don't watch that garbage.

Teams other than Orlando and Philadelphia need to bring their A game when it comes to logo design.
Crystal Palace Baltimore's ultras are about as intimidating as the English ones.

Literally why
I don't want to be that guy cause I hate the names, but most MLS clubs have a partnership with European teams. Unless that has changed

>The title "Real" (Spanish pronunciation: [reˈal]) is a Spanish word which means "royal" in English. The term is usually used by Spanish clubs who have received royal patronage from a reigning Spanish king, the most famous of which would include Real Madrid, Real Betis and Real Sociedad.
>In choosing the name "Real", owner Dave Checketts intended to create a brand name that would become well known for its simplicity, as well as an association with the world-famous club in Madrid that the club had been striving toward.
LIterally just picked it because some famous teams are called that

So they didn't have an association with Madrid, and this guy thought naming his club Real would lead to one somehow?
