MLS is . it ' s own thing entirely . I ' ve been a fan for years and even when I think I ' ve finally got a hold of it , I get thrown for a loop . But still , the players don ' t own anything in this arrangement . The NFL isn ' t like that at all . Each team is independently owned in its entiretly and players negotiate with individual teams for contracts . There ' s no league input there . They do have to fit under a salary cap and players are drafted into the league , but undrafted players aren ' t allocated to teams beyond that and neither are outofcontract players . <| sep |> Overall , I am a fan of the brand split , personally . But it ' s far from ideal right nowI ' ll be honest , I turned this week ' s episode of SDL off when I found out Ellsworth was in a ladder match with AJ , and they punished The Miz by having him face Kalisto . I don ' t want to see Ellsworth or Kalisto on TV , that programming is not compelling to me whatsoever . Save it for SuperstarsAmbrose ' s backstage segments were entertaining to watch the next day , but not enough to entice me to watch the whole showSDL needs something more , but I ' ll be damned if I know what .
