Would anyone else think they'd actually enjoy this league if it didn't feel so forced about everything.
Like the culture around it feels forced, the rivalries, the support.
For example rivalry week. A whole week of derbies planned ahead by mls to make money. A lot of whomever have no history yet the fans act as if the other supporters killed their moms when they have nothing to hate each other for YET. not saying history can't grow but this league doesn't give it time.
No hate just my opinion and would like to get yours.
Why watch MlelS when you could watch big strong muscular and ELITE USL?

I understand what you mean, but unfortunately it's unrealistic to expect otherwise considering we can't retroactively give soccer the century of development other countries have. The Rivalry Week™ thing is gay and marketed as fuck, but you can't demand prospective soccer fans just mill around and passionlessly watch their team until they have "sufficient history". Hopefully, in time, the clear issues caused by the USSF-MLS-SUM relationship will be addressed and corrected, but I won't hold my breath. It's only going to get worse before it gets better.

Until we have a standard European-style league system this is what we're stuck with

the fans are faggots and the league has the aroma of pretentiousnes around it when it is really just another second tier sport in NA like Lacrosse or Rugby. But NLL and whatever rugby shit don't take themselves as seriously. They call soccer teams football Clubs, field a pitch, call jerseys shirts etc. They don't understand the fans are a mix of people who just want to get drunk in a crowd but can't afford NFL tickets, and people who don't watch the big 4 because they were bullied by people who played them in school.

You're just being stupid if you think soccer is comparable to rugby or lacrosse in terms of viewership or participation in the US/Canada

>Until we have a standard European-style league system With pro-rel, sure. >With no play-offs and the league can be won months in advance. Let's not.

Our cities are too spread out to have proper rivalries, in any sport. Yankees v Red Sox has nothing on Celtic v Rangers, Fenerbahçe v Galatasaray. Or whatever, the list goes on. But fake derbies don't concern me. What concerns me, as a fan of the sport, is that kids don't play unless organized by their parents. It's about the kids, not the big clubs.
