(NBA, some kind of knight/swashbuckler imagery? this could work).

Just so we're clear, in 40 Years the MLS will a top 5 league in the world and America will a top ten soccer country. Euros will get butthurt about the playoffs actually being meaningful and the salary cap working

Canada will punch above its weight and constantly put together solid surprising teams in international tournaments.

Even if LAFC got a fifth of LA's market, that's still larger than most the remaining markets in the country.

you underestimate the number of people in the United States dont support their local team, a new LA team wearing black and gold that has made it known will bring in most likely some of the biggest signings in MLS history will go a long way into drawing in first time MLS watchers and those that are indifferent to a Galaxy team in Carson

>>74181948
>No one is suddenly going to become an MLS fan just because of LAFC.
Where you around when NYCFC came into the league? Cause there were plenty of assholes who could've been rooting the the Red Bulls for years, but hadn't. You'd be surprised how easy it his to hook newfags with shiny new things.

>>74181948

MLS fans are the reason people don't like their local team. the euroboo LARPing bullshit is retarded and makes going to a game unpleasant.

Well, if it is too expensive, and an open arena is going to make for a miserable game day, maybe PHX shouldn't get a team.

>>74208971
Honestly, the Cards stadium would be the perfect solution since its real grass and is adaptable for different weather conditions.

Not sure Garber would allow it at this point though. Doesn't MLS want expansion teams to build there own venues now?

"They're dead!" Cried the MLShills over and over again. Not once do they realize the true destiny that NASL brings upon US soccer. It is neither Garber nor Sunil's dark intentions that will be followed but the bright light of God himself. The false sheperds will cower in fear once the realization sets in; NASL will never falter. Through God will he give us our rightly thrown of first division. Only through his will that we will finally make US soccer achieve heights never before seen. US soccer will be in the golden era for eons but this will only happen once NASL achieve it's rightful throne.

I love the apologists and Teds of the world that seem to think that NASL's would be this massive league if only they were just "given" top division status.

Don and Sunil are idiots, but they're protecting American divegrass from Americans. Given the opportunity NASL would just bring random idiots and 3rd-division Italian sites to found feeder clubs and hire old fat Brazilians. If you're so desperate to ape the 'history' of the old NASL, you're going to have to keep the fact that the old NASL set the game back 20 years over your head.

>>74231604
American leagues prefer parity over pro/rel. In the US and Canada, I'd say that most people would rather watch a shitty D1 team than a somewhat decent D3 team. Teams would go bankrupt if pro/rel was put into place today.

>>74231727
I don't know, I guess it depends on how far pro/rel goes. If, say, NYCFC dropped from MLS to D2, they could be fine, but if they dropped to the semi-pro leagues (unlikely, but just for this scenario, let's assume it happens), I would imagine the American Jew owners would pull out whatever money is left in the team, as opposed to pump more money into the team. It's unfortunate, but that's the North American mindset around sports teams.

If it's complete, uncontrolled pro/rel between MLS and PDL/NEPAL, maybe even all the way down to PLA or fucking NCAA, he won't have a choice.

>>74231839
Regardless of religious affiliation, every MLS owner put in several million, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and like other US pro leagues, they expect a return for their investment (i.e. more interested in profits than winning).

If you drop down to D2, you will make less money the year you're in D2. No owner would ever vote for that, when they can keep the status quo and make D1 money every year regardless. This is how the rest of US leagues have always been, and I think we can all agree it's impossible to get any rich person to vote against their self-interest.
