I've always thought that MLS was a derivative and dumb name for the league. What about something like America Premire or something that's more in line with the sport?

i think they should. MLS looks stupid and wtf is a MAJOR league any way. sounds childish. MLS is already taken so they have mlssoccer.com which is major league soccer soccer ,com. i kinda like APL American Pro (or Premier) League , American not just because Merica but the americans. eventually it could have the best teams from Canada America and maybe even those dirty mexicans can have a team

There are so many things they could have named the league besides MLS.

I don't really like the name but thinking about it, yeah, why not change it? It would be difficult but probably for the best in the long run.

Yea. I like it.

Other countries have their term for their top leagues. The US uses 'Major'. I think it's good that's it's unique to us.

What's funny about this rant (that doesn't make any coherent sense, by the way) is that your username has MLS in it.

Who gives a frick?

It's not like league names are sacred to the rest of the world, anyway. Oh boy, can't wait for MLS to sell its super awesome new name to the highest bidder. I'm hoping for the MLS.com American Soccer League

While we are at it, it's ok to say "MLS" or "The MLS". Yeah, technically, you are saying "The Major League Soccer" but, in reality, "The MLS" has become a pseudonym for saying "The League".

Had to get that off my chest.

Personally I wouldn't a name change but I'd be surprised if they did. Problem is everyone who say American soccer is "trying too hard" again. I wouldn't say MLS is a bad name either so it's probably not worth it to mess with it.

The US does or baseball does? National (NBA, NFL, NHL) is much more fitting. Even switching up to something as simple as NSL is better than MLS.

I think major league soccer sounds better than national soccer league.

I don't really think either are great but I probably prefer NSL by a little.
