[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they actually implement promotion/relegation their product will actually have a chance. People that are soccer fans can buy into a team knowing there's the ability to be promoted and get behind a team and gain support from the community.

Pro/rel is good for soccer, America just hates it because it will expose what's been going on and remove the gatekeepers.[/quote]

It would be very interesting to have promotion / relegation in the mix from the jump.  The issue has been that the guys that are shelling out $500M to get a MLS team won't swallow that pill of having any chance of playing in a lesser league than the top tier.  Meanwhile, over in the UK for example, that has been the standard for decades and is the expectation.  It would be awesome here to have teams in USL1 be able to climb the ladder and really incentivize the owners to do more - another sport entirely, but the Pittsburgh Pirates would be playing low-A ball if this model existed in MLB.  Absolutely no pressure to put a competitive product on the field since they are still making bank despite the fact that they stink year after year.

Bring it on![/quote]
