>>77414491
Its not about year to year profits, MLS franchise values are rising faster than any other american sports league, this is fact. Why do you think we went from 15 million dollar expansion fees 10 years ago to 200 million in the near future?

They're not bigger, they just have shitty bench seating and standing room because college sports are for the local unwashed underclasses. Larger pro clubs of any sport could probably sell out 300k stadiums they just know it's not worth the investment because game attendance is a tiny portion of the revenue for any relevant team.

>>77414545

>>77414646
MLB has the highest attendance of any league on earth

However, this is because of the fact that they play 162 games a year, though it's still 4th overall in attendance per game

we really care what you think about football that's why threads like this tend to have so many europeans arguing about your next level insight

good lord american self importance is second to none

>>77414646
throughout the entire season. they play 80 home games and no other sport even comes remotely close. the most popular NFL team would have to play 20 home games to have half of the attendance of the most popular MLB team.

>>77414596
It should be TV ratings and sales that determines popularity. That's unfortunate though, sport is business. Unless you live in a smaller area where your local team is loved by much of the townies it's always going to be niche one way or another. Thinking otherwise is cognitive dissonance.

>>77414674

>>77414730
MLS is growing that is the argument, if you deny this you clearly don't know anything about it. Nobody is claiming MLS is a high level league, just that its enjoyable to support your local team and watch the sport grow here. Rome wasn't built in a day, Barcelona and Real Madrid weren't built in a day, do you think in the 30's people were shitting on Barca and Real Madrid how nobody cared about them? Of course not.

CenturyLink Field allows 70.000 seats for an NFL game but for the MLS only the lower sections are opened to the public because it is better to have a full upper section than half-empty. I know, it is strange, but it is real. This is why the NFL teams must sell 98% of their seats or aren't broadcasted in the market area.

But with the upper section closed, Seattle still has more people on average than >my team, and I speak about Paris, because >our stadium is smaller.

NBA's fault. Too much games and almost no suspense.

It would be perfect if, without the playoffs, a NBA team would have 58 games per year. You know, two games against every other NBA team. Or at least having usefull divisions and 12 (or 14) teams in playoffs.

And, this conferences and divisions thing is bullshit in NBA. It makes sense in NFL because an AFC team plays almost only against AFC teams, and because you can have two teams in the same market from different conferences, but in NBA, what means having the Clippers and the Lakers ?

A good point is that MLS is more offensive than Ligue 1. A bad point is that Ligue 1 defenders are technically better than MLS midfielders.

But the MLS can be interesting, if you select your games. Watching a game in Seattle, Philly or Brooklyn can be fine because there's atmosphere, but in LA it's boring as hell and the sun on field makes the picture ugly.

MLS needs to pop out the salary cap or at least increase it because you need a fuckton of money to attire great ones. Plus MLS teams need to make their own young players, the college system can't work when the rest of the world can pay 10 millions per year a 18 years boy.

fuck off. an open league without a salary cap is the only way to attract talent and compete internationally meaning it's the ONLY way to significantly grow the sport in the United States.

I honestly cannot stand American sports fans. Why they think clubs shouldn't be able to reinvest their earnings into their own teams if fucking beyond me.

>>77417189
They're the chicanos of sports, which is fitting enough as 90% of them are also chicanos.

Ask the average schmuck to name more than two MLELS teams and then get back to me about how popular sawker is in America.

That's a lot of hipsters...

>>77417189
I'm 34, lived in 7 different cities, and have visited 48 states at one point or another for work. Met a shit ton of people and usually try to make small talk about sports before anything else, as that's a good ice breaker. Out of everybody I've met, literally one was a soccer fan. I have no idea where these soccer fans are in this country, but they certainly aren't in the business sector in any capacity.

>150+ post thread about MLS/American domestic soccer, with no game or important event triggering it
A few years ago, there's no way that would happen. MLS has won.

the salary cap is fine, but like you said they just need to let teams sign more Designated Players (players that dont count against the cap) the cap is good because it will prevent us from becoming like England where their mediocre players are extremely over valued and over paid for what they actually bring. MLS is fun because results aren't foregone conclusions and literally any team can beat another team

>>77417197
But the PL is the most popular soccer league and none of their clubs compete internationally..

>>77417381
thats because MLS fans are usually young without being in high paying jobs, its ironic because you're 34 and have met 1 soccer fan yet I'm 24 and most of my friends are soccer fans and know about our local team and have gone to games

>>77419325
anyone that says Americans don't care about soccer is just biased against it anyway, they'll refuse to accept that the sport is taking over here, you've seen it with the big euro leagues and international games, once MLS has grown more and more relevant and skilled players you'll see the casuals who don't blindly hate soccer/MLS start to take an interest

>>77422372
>the salary cap is fine
yes and afaik its purpose is to avoid the fate of NASL (bankrupt).
Anyway MLS is good for your soccer because it gives a sustainable workmarket for your young soccer players, a thing you didn't have in the '80s

>>77422425
yeah the NASL showed that free spending doesn't work here. we just dont have that tribal generational support of clubs to support them if they fade into irrelevancy, they just die off. MLS grows slowly year by year and invests into their academies and being sustainable, nobody especially people that actually watch MLS thinks its a top class league but it is getting better and its enjoyable to see the sport grow as the league produces and attracts a higher quality of player

>>77414385

It actually looks like America is finally becoming a viable football country

Congratulations lads, welcome to the rest of the world, it's only taken you like a hundred years haha

MLS fans are literally the Bernie Sanders supporters of the American sports community. Claim that it will revolutionize all because of "muh growth" but lack any other arguments other than delusion and fairy tales.

I want nothing more than to see soccer fucking go back to obscurity

>>77423495
the cheapest seats at bad/irrelevant nba or nhl games is still more expensive than almost all the seats at an mlels game. mls games are a cheap way for people to experience live sports.

>>77432761
Too late mate.
You hated it for the bad reasons, you'll now love it for the good reasons.

>>77432761
It's already obscure enough here. OP posted a mere novelty that will soon die down once it wears off. No LARPing is going to convince them otherwise.

>>77414452
See, I can't take MLS seriously because none of their fans do - they all try to pretend that they're a European club and ape all their traditions, but it just rings out as phony and hollow to me.

Nah, I just don't like people who try to cosplay as fans. Real fans watch the game and have fun because of that, these monkeys want to pay dress up and use the game as an excuse to do it.

Are there MLS hooligans?

In fairness, if the vast majority of them followed soccer it would succeed very legitimately.

Only thing I have against the MLS is that the Rochester Rhinos ruined themselves trying to get in.

There's a reason why Americans can't understand football. American sports(for the most part)are soulless; they represent nothing. They are called franchises for a reason, a team can move from one city to another and no one bats an eye.

But football is part of European culture. Look at the old firm. Protestants and British royalists vs Catholic Scots. Look at the eastern european football clubs, they aren't just franchises made by a billionaire to attract people.

>Levski Sofia
Was created by High School students in downtown Sofia.
>Fenerbahce
Was created by Greek descendants of one of the most prominent neighbourhoods of Constantinople.
>PAOK and AEK
Created by immigrant students from the Minor East catastrophe.
>Panathinaikos
Created to spread footblal in Greece and represented the upper class of Athens.
>Olympiakos
Represented the lower and working class of the docks.

You can look at basically most football clubs in europe and you will find a century worth of history.

>>77448795
You seem knowledgeable. What is it about Catholic nations which makes them so objectively superior to other country's in soccer?

>>77414385
Hey burger, it took the best club in the world vs an assembled team of the best MLS palyers to sell out.

You think MLS can provide this constantly?

>>77449077
Atlanta's pretty good but I wouldn't call them the best club in the world

>>77449077
Impact and Toronto stadiums are always full.

>>77415102
I went to a pats preseason game last year and the 3rd deck was at least 3/4 full

this is just embarrassing

MLS is a pretty good league to watch 2bh. Just needs better defenders.

>>77414385
Baseball and Hickey are dying/decreasing in a lot of parts of the country, so it makes sense that soccer would improve. I don't think it has any chance of overtaking College basketball/football, NBA, or NFL any time soon though. Maybe it beats CBB in 20-30 years.

do MLS games have the same shitty atmosphere that other US sports have?

DEFENSE *CLAP CLAP CLAP* DEFENSE *CLAP CLAP CLAP*

>>77449697
Actually MLS crowds try to emulate what football supporters do elsewhere in the world, bring banners, chant, encourage their team, do supporters clubs stuff
It's always better than customers for the other American pro leagues, which are pretty pathetic

Honestly it's even more impressive when you consider that they get full attendance in the horrific Atlanta summer heat and humidity (90°F+ with >90% humidity everyday), and they play at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech, which has almost no space for tailgating or parking, nor good means of public transport. Being a Georgia Tech student I've seen all the people who show up to these games, and it's very well-mixed, mostly white, and surprisingly pretty even Hispanic and black people attendance.

>>77415123
This, Atlanta is chock full of carpetbagging faggots who come here because it's cheaper to live than NYC or California.
