Wrapping reserve teams in different names and crests and trying to sell it as “local” Really hate it here

New look, same pathway. The #LAGalaxy announced that the organization’s MLS NEXT Pro team will now compete under the name “Ventura County FC” ( @VC_FutbolClub ). Ventura County’s newest professional sports team will play their home matches at California Lutheran University.

MLS contracts include the Reserve clause, which allows MLS to keep players’ rights despite the contract expiring US Big 4 sports leagues eliminated the Reserve clause in: MLB: 1975 NFL: 1975 NBA: 1970 NHL: 1972 Why are we ok with this organization de facto running US Soccer?

I promise I’m not trying to be pedantic but you are literally on the payroll That should not preclude you from participating in normal discourse, but you can’t be shocked when it impacts how people receive your participation

Let's have a proper discourse about ⚽️ in 🇺🇸. But if you disagree with me, you are a fraud and are on the payroll. Got it, thanks twitter "X"

With all this “best athlete” discussion in US Soccer, there is a position in Soccer that more than others requires size, agility, and explosiveness. Goalkeeper. Guess what position the US already consistently produces pros in? F***IN GOALKEEPER

My ideal structure: USL Premier - 20 teams : Single Table USL Champ - 28 teams : 2 Conferences USL L1 - Flexible Team Count : At least 4 Regional Divisions : Travel Limited USL L2 - Remains Amateur *All Expansion teams post-launch of structure must start in L1 or L2*

Fascinating stuff about the three-league option for pro-rel in the USL. This came up in the reporting over the summer, too, and I delineated what that model could look like in practice:

I just don’t get how anyone can focus on what happens on the field in MLS when what’s happening off the field is so reprehensible.

This situation in Indy isn’t competition. One team has existed for 11 years and is well-supported in the city. MLS isn’t competing, they came in and promised a chance at an expansion team sometime in the future. This is mob shit.
