They can make changes and build around the current MLS structure with their youth academies as they are

....find me an inner city kid at a "youth academy".

Many of the games current great were all inner city kids at one point and didn't have to pay to get good training in their youth....until that changes the current "youth system" will always be subpar in America. I get that the MLS is for profit....great. To have a U6-U12 system that is for profit is a damn joke.
