This fall is chock-full of great sporting events with the start of the NFL, the NBA and the World Cup. Despite all the hoopla for these tremendous sporting spectacles, I care to offer an unsung hero of autumn — the MLS playoffs.
The MLS grew steadily in popularity over the past years, with the league making over $90 million per year off of its lucrative media deal since 2015.
With the rise in funding, the league dedicated its money to invest in the next generation of soccer fans.
