Reminder that Crew Stadium isn’t even twenty god damned years old and Precourt wants public funds in THIS climate to build a stadium. gently caress him. gently caress him especially for doing that to a team with history.

Dallan Invictus posted:I've said we need to replace most of the original teams' owners with people that actually want to make an effort, but ideally not like this. Another Ohio team getting the Browns treatment. Sure, why not. So it sounds like Garber could, in theory, force Precourt to accept the offer to the keep-in-Columbus crowd. Which would be excellent. Then we can ripple that through the league, except DC and New England of course because misery quotas must be maintained

porkface posted:Now you've got tickets to a protest party. I'm going to tune into matches on MLS Live just to see the signs. Empty bleachers are both protest and proof of concept. quote:Also I don't understand why Wicka has such a boner for this league he doesn't like or watch. We all know it's structured poorly and seems to be overly reliant on franchise fees but he and all of the other MLS haters can't tell you when the league will fail nor are they willing to talk about success stories like Atlanta without saying they're simply outliers. I am 100% confident if they were to put a date on their dire predictions we would all watch it pass with the league intact and attendance up in some places and down in others. In a better world, teams wouldn’t move. They’d get relegated. Wicka sees, like a lot of people see, that there could be a thriving ground for developing Americans, making a bit of money, AND having a watchable, competitive league. And what we’ve gotten since the Beckham experiment is money marks and grifters.

Kill the MLS2 teams. Grow the sport either by affiliate program (DC-Richmond has been mutually beneficial) or by just loaning players. If we’re giving all of USSF a rethink, let’s loving rethink it.

In unsurprising news, Goff is reporting Hamid is gone next season. No clear idea where to, but not here. I will be shocked if DC outdraws Dallas in five years.

G-Hawk posted:Well, good thing they've been taking positive steps to be less reliant on expansion fees! This includes: And yet the fees have gone up, so how are they less reliant? New teams are playing in football stadiums they don’t own, and NYCFC just played in loving Hartford. The needle hasn’t moved on ratings, and now the US have crashed out of the World Cup. The youth aren’t getting sold on - they’re going out of contract and playing in loving Denmark. And instead of trying to improve fortunes, teams are scrapping marketing to save money before vanishing or relocating. What you’re suggesting hasn’t come to pass, and unless the academies have improved that much in the last two years (I can tell you DC’s hasn’t), what is there? If Columbus to Austin actually happens, that’s gonna be a chain reaction that leads to NY6 playing in a rec center in Yonkers.

Olsen is probably still standing in the center circle of RFK, looking forlornly at his favorite dive bar, and nobody has the heart to tell him to leave. He asks for another few minutes, and they just nod and go to get him another cup of hot chocolate.
