Well at least tell me that if the Dynamic (sp?) finish last next year, they'll go down to NCAA and Rice will come up to MLS?

Scheduling too many games during the season is the NBA's problem, not MLS.

How many games do they play in MLS?


30 in the league. More in the Champions League and various friendlies.

Do you honestly believe if the NBA went down to that many, they wouldn't EASILY surpass them?


What does that have to do with average attendance?

Why do I always picture the soccer haters as fat asses that played OL/DL in high school?

If this happened in the NFL, the Texans wouldn't exist.

You average attendance will most likely skyrocket if you play less games. Even the NFL admitted when they were considering 18 reg season games that it could negate many sellouts.

Relegation doesn't exist in the MLS. It's actually one of the best parts of overseas leagues, since it makes games at both ends of the league table meaningful til the end of the season.

34 this season. The Sounders also played 8 Champions League matches, 4 or 5 U.S. Open Cup matches, and a friendly against ManU. Plus two playoff matches. So that's 49 or 50 matches.

I'm picturing this guy as a high schooler who's scared that his neighbor's last name is Juarez.

Hopefully, the NFL is smart enough to avoid that, unlike the NBA.

And does the fact that MLB games have a higher average attendance than NBA games kinda hurt your argument here?

You live in Tennessee, so I have to picture this:





And look at TV ratings for whatever they call the 'ship in MLS vs all other sports' championship. How's it look?

You never disputed the idea that you were fat and played line in high school.

You gotta link me to something on that, because I find it hard to believe.




I think it's unfortunate that you picture soccer haters as these horrible rednecks. I play ultimate, golf, football, basketball, etc. I've even played soccer a few times and I enjoy the basic idea of the game.


But the way it's rules and officiating is set up is such a joke.


Game 7. NBA Finals. Tie game at the end of regulation..... Kobe vs Lebron in a free throw competition!

This is what shootouts remind me of.
