Major League Soccer has grown enormously in recent years. Commissioner Don Garber has accelerated the expansion process, the league has secured bigger TV deals than ever before, and the standard of player is higher than it has been throughout the league’s 25-year existence.
And yet, while Garber and others may eulogise and protest about the great ambitions of the league, projecting its growth into one of the elite leagues in world football in 10, 20, 50 years time, predictions that are almost entirely ill-advised and unfounded, there is a ceiling that the league will hit in the very near future — if not already.
