Not that anyone cares what I think, but this is asinine. Shared ownership and lack of pro/rel is MLS's competitive advantage, not a weakness.
MLS should take advantage of a successful World Cup by:
- Merging with USL
- Ending the common ownership aspects of the league
- Adopting pro/rel, with parachute payments to get current franchise owners on board
- Eliminating the salary cap so that clubs can buy the best players
Let American capitalism make it the best league in the world.
