Imagine asking a girl out on a date…
She says yes.
Then some random guy walks over and says,
“Sorry, I filed Discovery Rights on her three years ago. Pay me a $50,000 discovery fee and you can take her out.”
Welcome to MLS.

I wanna take this moment to say to anyone who has grown a love for the sport over the last 2 months. I'm sure you've heard about competitions like Premier League, Champions League, even MLS
But honestly I implore you to explore further, because that's where you're gonna find the type of stories that made you fall in love with the sport to begin with.
One of my favorite stories is from Vegalta Sendai, a club in Japan whose fans overcame the tragedy of the 2011 tsunami and almost saw their team win the league just 2 seasons later.
Easiest ways to explore further? Deep dive on wikipedia with no destination in mind.
Now, if you're an annoying ass political larper like this person below. Don't even come back in 2030, no one wants you anywhere near the sport.
Over the past month, New York City has welcomed the world.
From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game.
Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.
