"RBNY (20 mins): Portrayed the rebranding of arguably the most historic soccer team in the country into a sports drink as the best thing in the club's history...and pulled it off. Clear propaganda but that's the point of the club profile. I just applaud the execution.

Grade: A+"

Wow, I didn't realize how different these were for each club. 2 minutes for RSL vs 31 for LAFC?!

 

Pretty good that our production is one of the most professional ones, rebranding be damned.

From a strictly on field perspective its hard to argue that Red Bull ownership and the rebrand have not been a success compared to that of the metrostars.

Absolutely. But mentioning Shakira in your history video more often than Clint Mathis, Tim Howard, or Amado Guevara... Hell, two of those even played after the rebrand.

Apple hired a bunch of more announcers, including Tony Meola, and NYCFC fans are still crying.

Well I guess now we know why we're not getting any streams whatsoever. Not sure what Apple's deal is here but its disappointing.

 

Also its hilarious that you literally can't even find Chicago Fire on Google because the TV show dominates the first 10 pages...

Depends where you are and what you search. The team comes up 4th on my search results with their tweets right below that.

They really should have rebranded when they moved back to Soldier Field. Their relationship with the "die-hards" is basically zero already, no harm in alienating them further.

I just got a text saying that if you are a T-mobile customer you will get MLS Season Pass on Apple for free.  Paul Tenorio apparently tweeted this.

 

I haven't been paying much attention to this - if you don't have Apple TV, is there a cost to subscribe and then an additional cost to get the MLS Season Pass?

I think you can get MLS Season pass without Apple TV. It's more expensive (99 vs 79).

I like how DirectTV Business is getting access to games so fans can watch in bars. Watch parties, meeting friends at bars to watch games is part of society. Good on them for making this available.

Orlando City vs New England, 7.10 PM EST
Houston vs Dallas, 8:10 PM EST
LA Galaxy vs Toronto, 9:10 PM EST"
