I spy a fellow New Englander . <| sep |> Not a problem for his future comeback . Cocaine binge for a few months and he ' ll be shredded . <| sep |> I miss vests <| sep |> Looks cool , thanks for the giveaway ! <| sep |> lol those are fun times . equipment just magically appears and no one knows or will say where it came from . <| sep |> I don ' t know if I ' m biased becuz I can ' t stand Johnson , but this quote is awful , and kinda dumb . <| sep |> How was your shower <| sep |> Calming and horrifying are two sides of the same coin <| sep |> So you don ' t know much about how and why things are the way they are in American soccer , yet you want to cast judgement . The clubs aren ' t single entities because at the time MLS was formed , avoiding bankruptcy was the main goal . Football in America doesn ' t do well when they ' re single entities because they ' re often mismanaged , look no further than the NASL America ' s division 2 single entity league which shut down once , and is on the verge of shutting down again . As for promotion and relegation , this isn ' t England . Relegation implies no more conferences , which means a balanced schedule . This makes no sense for us , due to the sheer size of the nation . Texas alone is larger than England , so imagine if you ' re a club without a large finance base or stadium essentially a championshipleague 1 English club and you have to travel the equivalent of London to St Petersburg , every single week . Fact of the matter is at the moments not only are America ' s lower league clubs not good enough to play at a premier level , but they can ' t handle the travel or costs without going under . Now this may change , as MLS continues to add clubs but at the moment it makes no sense for us . For a league a little over 20 years old , it ' s relevance and overall quality world wide is astounding .
