MLS: Will Orlando tournament help or harm league growth?

Major League Soccer is attempting to make hay while the rain is pouring. With sports fans the world over desperate for some form of live competitive action, MLS wants to fill the void and accelerate the development and popularity of an already rapidly growing league as a result.

Per a Washington Post report last week, Commissioner Don Garber has proposed plans to host a World Cup-style tournament in Orlando across June and July. It will be hosted at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex and all games will be played behind-closed-doors as players and staff are quarantined in nearby hotels and resorts.
