I think when we look back at US soccer in 50 years I think the the USMNT and the MLS will have similar growth patterns (in terms of caliber of players and fans) and the MLS will be given much more credit than it is now. I just don't see how having an exciting national league could do anything, but support the growth of the USMNT, that is when we get the youth development shite down.
All of this is probably right. But I was talking about right now, not 50 years from now. MLS is barely a blip on the radar when it comes to our national sports consciousness. No one gives a shite about it. When the USMNT plays, people watch. MLS needs to catch up, and I think it will.

Do you not see how this is a detriment to the USMNT going forward?

During the World Cup? Sure.
During every other match? They get about the same viewers as an MLS match
