imagine playing "fifth-tier" american soccer
how the fuck do you plan to keep those clubs afloat when they are hopscotching from brownsville, tx to mankato, mn when they are playing in front of 200 people for $5/pop?
My proposal for a five-tiered, relegatory professional soccer system in the US. Details in the thread

too many teams
also the real answer is to start a new league. leaving MLS in place only begs for the same people to fuck everything up on the same cycle

These teams already exist, and many of them already are travelling like that. This system would actually be an improvement because they would NOT have to travel so far at that level except in very special occasions.
MLS is really being kept in name only for brand recognition. As a league, it would function completely differently to the current system.

Posting in a MLS theory test thread, nobody has this much tism
