Kroenke is a businessman. You'd have to be retarded to think moving the Rams to LA wasn't a great business move. He's gonna make a shit ton of money over there. You'd also have to be retarded to think he'd ever move any of his Denver teams anywhere else.

Kek, you can't possibly believe that right? Denver's O-line was injury riddled and terrible. They're arguably the worst super bowl winning o-line ever. The elite defense is what really carried Peyton and the majority of them will be back next year. I'm pretty sure any anon from /sp/ could be their QB and they'd still at least win the AFC west.

>>67542631

Not really, foreign people dig NY more than LA for some reason. And Zlatan doesn't do auditions period. Would think he just tells our entire country to go fuck ourselves and leaves to wherever he wants.
>>67542726
It wouldn't be an audition
It would be a vacation
>>67542750

What is this about Zlatan and discovery rights?
>>67548356
You must place a discovery claim on foreign players to sign them, the Union jave discovery rights for Ibra so any team that wants to sign him will have to pay the Union a fee/conduct a trade
>>67548376
And how do teams put these discovery rights for the bigger players like Zlatan? Why does this meme rule exist anyway when there are agents?
>>67548388
Youre given like 7 claims you can claim any player that hasnt been claimed, i imagine the rule is in place to ensure parity and make it a bit harder for 1 team to sign a bunch of players, MLS has a shit ton of checks and balances to make sure that teams are always getting and using meme money
>>67548388
>why does this meme rule exist
Single entity
>>67548456
What if you just want to loan a player, do you have to deal with discovery rights then?
Also, is there a list of who owns what claims? I want see who has the rights for Donaldo, Messi, Vardy, etc.
>>67548492
We only know about the Union list because of the leak. Usually they try to keep this shit secret.

>>67548456
Is more about keeping a player's wages down, if only 1 team can sign you, you don't have much leverage to demand higher wages.
High profile players would demand higher salaries if several teams were battling to sign them, pretty smart if you think about it.

Not confirmed yet
>>67550600
>Ibrahimovic is also mulling moves to Manchester United or AC Milan.
I thought we had this conversation last night.
>>67548492
Ideally you're not supposed to put discovery claims on real players like Zlatan, Messie and Ronaldo. The discovery list is basically a mechanism that lets a team that "discovers" a player abroad negotiate exclusively with that player. What ends up happening quite often is some of the smaller teams that know they're not going to be doing a lot of international scouting will add big players to their list as a way of extracting some cash from bigger teams.
A recent example is with Letget, who wasn't a big player, but once word got out that LA might sign him the Revs put a discovery claim on him. When LA finally did sign Letget, they had to pay Revs something like 50K for their discovery claim.
When used right its a pretty benign way to keep teams from fighting each other over a player, but too often its just used by pleb teams that want to get some cash from teams that actually try.
>>67550652
The best example is Drogba. Who signed for Chicongo
>>67550652
>>67550665
There was also the fight over Nocerino in the off season. DC had the Discovery claim, and should've been the only MLS team to negotiate with him, but Adrian Heath and Orlando gave zero fucks and went to Nocerino on their own. DC got butthurt when the guy came back demanding more money, and eventually had to give up and sell their discovery claim to OCSC.
>LA Galaxy president Chris Klein declined to comment on Ibrahimovic when contacted by ESPN FC, but one source said should the former Ajax, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Juventus forward reach an agreement with MLS, his destination would indeed be the Galaxy.

Eternally salty here, Samuel Eto'o might get the "Goal King" award here
>>67550267
>if only 1 team can sign you, you don't have much leverage to demand higher wages.
But other meme league teams (CSL, Süper Lig, Ayy-League, etc.) can sign the player, so what's the point?
>>67551595
>Why keep it?
They have been slowly weakening it, but its not going to go away as long as there are more owners that like abusing it than not.
>>67551595
>Why keep it?
why WOULDN'T they keep it? everyone knows the big players are inevitably bound for teams like LA, might as well squeeze a few more Garberbux out of them in the process

That sounds fine in theory, but the last time they declared independence and kicked all the black people out (which they would have to do if they want to abolish basketball), the nation went bankrupt in nine years and had to join the U.S.

Allocation and discovery has made it almost impossible. A good thing when your league has a hard salary cap.
But there were times where fucketry was attempted and the came down. Like the Red Bulls putting a claim on David Villa.
They wanted NYCFC to respect it and wouldn't let them talk to him until the league told them they had 3 days to sign him or their discovery claim would be thrown out.
>>67554810
>but how common is MLS teams out-bidding each other?
Well very uncommon mostly because of things like discovery list.
>just make it so only one MLS team can make an offer to a player at a time
Yeah, that's what the discovery list is. A list of players only you can talk to. The only problem is there's some potential for abuse.

I'm glad threads on /sp/ actually stick now, and not just shouted down like a WNBA thread, but Aztec Stadium in Mexico City seats 95,500.
The LA Galaxy play at StubHub, which seats 27,000. The largest NFL stadium currently in use is MetLife in NJ, this seats 82,500.
So yes, there are your reasons.

You all act as though there's some higher purpose to sports than entertainment and money.

>>67561083
>not using sports as a way to escape from the mundane grind of life where all that matters is those 90 minutes and how your team represents your area
>>67561083
My position is that open divisions would benefit more teams, and thus more owners, to a lesser degree. MLS is probably a net negative to American soccer, but yeah it's great for those billionaires who own MLS teams.
MLS being closed sucks value and investment out of lower-division clubs and concentrates it at the top. This setup makes sense only if soccer as a sport is unable to support itself in the US, which was certainly true in 1996 but increasingly shaky today.
>>67561083
soonposter, is that you?
>>67533074
they should go back to allowing more western conference teams in the playoffs
>>67561179
>MLS is a net negative to American soccer
why? because Random FC playing in a HS football stadium with no owner able to even pay minimum wage in MLS won't have the chance to move up?
I'm all for a closed pro/rel system at some point, but soccer isn't the biggest sport here, we don't need teams from every little town fighting to get to MLS, they are better served as minor league teams ala MLB
>>67561179
I like pro/rel because I think it would be good for grass roots soccer, its just hard to justify that system in America where most of the money is going to other sports.
>>67561179
And yet, who the fuck cares?
No one deserves anything in sports
It's not like sports have any real importance
If they disappeared tomorrow society wouldn't collapse
If you don't like the product they give you, you can fuck off somewhere else
I like the idea of Pro/Rel and actually think it could benefit the owners
But I don't think there's some moral reason to do so because of some populist bullshit
>>67561179
>it's great for those billionaires who finance soccer's growth
FTFY
>MLS being closed sucks value and investment out of lower-division clubs and concentrates it at the top.
This would be a concern if there was any value in lower level soccer. The idea that it hurts investment is not borne out by the facts; there is tremendous growth in lower division soccer right now. Meanwhile, MLS has less fans than the WNBA.
>>67561255
You act like pro/rel means two leagues, with MLS paying multi-million dollar salaries and everyone else being an amateur teams.
Promotion and relegation means teams with consistent support and good performance can move up incrementally, improving themselves as they gain more attention and revenue. It would mean a team like Detroit City could gradually improve to the level their market could support, without having to rely on a random rich person to buy them out.
As you point out, sports teams are businesses. Most businesses in healthy markets don't start out as fully formed billion-dollar multinationals, they explore their local market first and expand from there. With closed leagues, this is not possible.

True. I'm hoping NPSL adds a league for their professional teams, with promotion from the regional conferences. That could bridge the gap for promotion to NASL. MLS and USL could stick with their single-entity/feeder team MLB model.
>>67561352
>Promotion and relegation means teams with consistent support and good performance can move up incrementally, improving themselves as they gain more attention and revenue. It would mean a team like Detroit City could gradually improve to the level their market could support, without having to rely on a random rich person to buy them out.
Don't fool yourself. This idea of a team starting from the bottom and growing is an American pipe dream. It literally never happens in places that have pro/rel, and the few times it does happen is literally because some random rich person buys them out.

The big sports markets already are settled out in the US. For a league to draw big TV deals it needs teams in those markets. For strictly market size reasons, MLS can't risk loosing Chicago for Sacramento.
>>67561670
Yes you fucking nihilist, ultimately this boils down to "I like pro/rel because I find it more interesting than closed leagues and think others may think similarly".
It's not a moral crusade, it's just an opinion.
Whether it's better for business, or if it benefits certain people over others, are supporting empirical facts that can be used to convince others one way or the other based on their values. This is how conversations work.

Because if they can win that then what's stoping them from winning the Champ- oh wait that's right, Mexican teams can just fuck you guys right in the ass before you make it to the semi-finals and even then it would probably even be another MLS team that just plays you out of the competition to begin with.

You try playing soccer in six-inch-deep water. Water polo it ain't.
>>67584941
does your meme team not have a proper drainage system?
>>67584919
I'm 99% positive that the FO stepped in on this decision.
I really disagree with it because they mostly likely did it just so they can probably fill in more seats.
There's no way in hell the US gets a point from the Copa America
Just no fucking way
>>67585394
With Jozy out it seems like it'll be easier tbqh
Helllo, /MLS/.
I noticed a few people talking about USL. Is this the lowest level of soccer anyone cares about?
What about PDL or NPSL? I think you lot give NWSL some attention but have you even heard about NWPL?
Where would I get a load of news on games in the lower levels? Or a list of journalists and twitter accounts who follow teams in these leagues?
The reason I ask in because here in the free world, we are allowed to bet large sums of money on these shitshows of leagues.
Thanks x

yeah i like to sit in the corner near the SOB, though I usually end up moving to meet up or sit next to people that I know that are also at the game
at the Orlando game the closest seats in the river end had some off-shoot SG that did the meme shoes in the air thing
