Isn't no small part of NASCAR's problem that the France family still runs it with an iron first and thus they just do whatever the hell they want when it comes to rules and regulations with no consultation?

G-Hawk posted:i assume at some point they did a bunch of survey research on soccer fans who dont watch mls but watch european, mexican, international or other leagues and found that goofy american team names was seen as one of the barriers for them becoming mls fans (ancedotally i remember hearing this criticism of mls for a long time from non-mls soccer fans)

This has been in the pipe for a while. Basically is a D3 league that will consist of mostly U23 teams and "some" independent teams. IIRC the belief is those indy teams might come from clubs already fielding academy teams in the new MLS NEXT system. Still, I kinda hate it because it's another parallel system.

G-Hawk posted:it seems like an obvious way to expand mls footprint and infrastructure and put them in a strong position to take more control over lower divisions depending on how things evolve over the coming years. its not as if USL or NASL are exactly the most stable leagues in the world and id assume in the long term more and more may come under the mls umbrella formally.

Don't have any hot Twitter links handy but apparently there are people in the social media ~~~discourse~~~ who are downright ANGRY that Soccer Moses in Nashville is a thing. I don't know how one of the actual good things about Major League Soccer could piss you off, but there you go.

Edward Mass posted:I'm pretty sure MLS and the USL are on good terms, though I could be mistaken. MLS is making its own D3 league for next year, and every club with a II/B team is being pressured to join it eventually. So far there are four holdouts who say they are staying in the USL: Atlanta, LA Galaxy, NYRB, and I can't remember the fourth.

Popero posted:Loudon (DC), and the rest are all coming after next year anyway. Supposedly those four are annoyed about the whole MLS D3 thing because they'd rather have their young prospects in a proper league setup instead of whatever this MLS D3 league is going to be, which is more than likely going to be a glorified academy league.

Meh. Granted they've had excellent support for their NHL team but maybe my reaction is a leftover from me growing up at the tail end of Las Vegas still being a "THERE BE DRAGONS NEVER NEVER SET FOOT" sports market because of legalized gambling.

whypick1 posted:Doing a racism at a teammate seems like a good way to torpedo your career....and yet he's still on the team. Putna’s future at RSL remains unclear. From the statement above, it seems that the league is considering his time away from the team during the investigation to be the sum of his punishment. In theory, he could play for RSL again once he completes the diversity and inclusion training, though it is unlikely. ...as I believe he's out of contract at the end of this year. I think it's likelier that he stays away from the team for the six weeks or so until his contract is up.
