USMNT's Tyler Adams: Promotion-relegation would improve MLS

U.S. men's national team midfielder Tyler Adams has voiced his support for the idea of bringing promotion and relegation to MLS, saying it would improve the competitiveness of the league.

Promotion and relegation is the model used by soccer leagues in nearly every country throughout the world, including England, Spain, Germany, Brazil and Argentina, but the idea has been kept at arm's length by MLS since the league's inception in 1996.

However Adams, who plays his club soccer in the English Premier League with Bournemouth, said he has seen the benefits of the system.
