@DAT_Emeka@SebiSalazarFUT American football 🏈- no that is 🤴 forever in 🇺🇸. But ⚽️ already much bigger than hockey and slightly bigger than baseball. To be clear MLS itself is much smaller than mlb or nhl but the sport itself is much bigger.
@IHateSoccerPod You can’t just “play like Spain” I see alll these youth coaches say “ yeah-that’s what I want… smart short passing…. Head up …. Move off the ball…that is how I coach.” No you don’t! Your sessions have lines, drills and you select on athletes. Actions > words.
@flameosumeet@colincowherd The overall consumption of ⚽️ in 🇺🇸 across ALL leagues and competitions has been high for many years now. 🇺🇸 ⚽️ fans have so many options: mls popularity means nothing. Global ⚽️ stars have been a hit with younger Americans for years- already well ahead of hockey - baseball.
@PleiadesAutumn@voiceofD It isn’t about MLS. It is about ⚽️. Are you actually thinking hockey has been ahead of soccer? It isn’t even close and has not been for some time. MLS only accounts for 10% of ⚽️ fandom in 🇺🇸. The totality of all the leagues and competitions 🇺🇸 consumes in ⚽️ has been very high.
@atTheTrack7@ClayTravis What matters is the sheer amount of ⚽️ consumed every week in 🇺🇸 when you add up Liga Mx, EPL, euros, World Cup, La loga, MLS- a ton of ⚽️ consumed.
@RealSkipBayless 🇺🇸 franchise leagues must constantly change rules for entertainment which works for fans that aren’t really passionate about the sport. ⚽️ is different because it doesn’t need to create more offense and it is still number 1 by far. Image the nba with no 3 point line or shot clock
@jmwooldridge@Joscocok The game is extremity popular period. The landscape is just different. Is mls huge? No. But ⚽️ is because there is so much consumption of so many leagues and competitions. Mexican league for example get huge ratings in California and Texas- often higher than any sport outside nfl
@JohnSGale@zava55@YahooSports Take World Cup out of equation. Mexican league alone is bigger than hockey in the 🇺🇸. Look at epl viewership and contracts. Champions league, Euros etc.
@zava55@Bobjstoneharbor@YahooSports@herculezg Only about 5% of the 🇺🇸 ⚽️ market supports MLS. The totality of many different leagues, clubs, and competition is very high in the 🇺🇸. Above ⚾️ and 🏒 already.
@fc_fort@SoccerCooligans@NYCMayor Pay to play is the false issue. The real issue is lack of an open ecosystem without promotion and relegation. If you have that you have plenty of free academies like everywhere else on earth.
@surfer_guy@usmntonly There is a massive Latino population in the 🇺🇸 and ⚽️ is by far the number one sport in that culture. It is already a big deal. MLS - not so much.
@Olinmkv@marcjoffe This guy is the number one factor in all the BS and the public completely misses it. Public sector unions and utility monopoly unions - pg&e for example. Why doesn’t the public understand?
