When does mexican league start? Maybe MLS should start around the same period. Folks will say that teams in the north play in very cold weather... they can always schedule more games at warmer climate states during the first few games of season.
It's not that. It's simply money.
Until we are even in the same ballpark with money spent on players, the quality isn't going to be there. You can't expect to win when we are spending 6 mill on player salaries vs their 60 million.
That typically results in better players and therefore more wins.
