Twellman taking a shot on how MLS and US soccer does things the American way instead of how the rest of the world does it. "We reward mediocrity"

Garber has talked about this. He says it's funny that sports in America (The most Capitalist country) follow the most socialist concepts.

I hate when Taylor Twellman is right.
He cannot add/subtract, if he thinks Pulisic cannot play in a World Cup for 7 years, when the next one is in 2022.
We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

He may have meant the time of his first call up and the first 2022 WC game. An odd way of thinking.

I used to think pro\rel would never happen and that it was okay. it was okay to Americanize the sport a bit, do it our way, so long as we were progressing.
Well, I think we've hit a wall. I think the case for pro\rel and breaking up the structure of MLS has never been stronger.

The MLS owners/shareholders/franchisees/etc. would have to agree with it, and it is not in their self-interest to do so.the case for pro\rel and breaking up the structure of MLS has never been stronger.

Yeah yeah, we know.... and I'm personally not the biggest pro\rel advocate, I'm just seeing an opportunity for the case to be made that we should adopt more of a standard FIFA format (the schedules, the pay to play, free agency, single entity, pro\rel, etc).
There's some who think the anti-trust concerns are compelling and perhaps owners will want to get ahead of the change before it's court-ordered. MLS owners are very much aware of how leagues and federations are run overseas and many of them own European teams. The model can't be that bad if all the world's richest business people want in.

Those December and January games in Colorado, Salt Lake, Chicago and RBA will totally be packed. Going on the FIFA calendar is just as insane and unrealistic as Pro/Rel.
