If there’s one thing that MLS excels at, it’s creating a profitable system by which owners maintain profits by squashing competition and restricting the labor market so that their employees can’t easily move within or outside of the league while also profiting off of the Women’s National Team (by controlling their marketing rights through it’s totally not corrupt arrangement with USSF) even though that team’s players aren’t paid what they’re worth. If there’s two things MLS excels at, it’s trying to compete with other big sports leagues in the USA while avoiding actually doing anything to create a soccer culture (Atlanta and LAFC notwithstanding, but overall the league does a bad job of this).
