Why? America has shown that it can grow leagues just fine. We have a few pretty big ones. Why does America need a pro/rel system for the sport to grow? Just because the rest of the world does it? We're better than they are, everybody knows that.
The franchise model just doesn't work in big time soccer.
We have the best leagues in other sports bc we have the best talent. So we make the rules, this isn't the case with soccer. There is a proven model for the game and we don't us it.

Do we know this? Sure, they don't do it in Europe but that doesn't mean it won't work here. It's already proven to work here to some extent. The problem is Europe had about a 100 year head start on us forming their leagues. The big clubs in Europe are essentially franchises at this point. They just don't call them that. It's not like Manchester United is run like a local club. These are international brands.

This is true. But there are enough players out there to make MLS one of the elite world leagues. It just has to grow. Or continue it's growth, rather.
