Oh really? When has the USSF ever allowed, let alone promoted an open pyramid. Also are you really going to compare the potential market for soccer in the US in say 1963 or 1989 to what it is in 2017? I mean really?

it's far far far and away the most successful soccer league this country has ever seen


Most successful meaning hundreds of millions of dollars in the red?

Also how successful would they be if they didn't have the USSF blocking entry into the market for them?

How is USSF stopping anyone from doing that?

Again, a century of chances to come up with something viable. Never happened. As a result, you got MLS. Sorry they missed their opportunity. It's good you have USSF and MLS to blame so you don't have to address the reality that most people don't care for what you want.

Do we measure a league or team's success by their P&L or balance sheet? No, of course not. That being said, MLS has good investment, pays players on time, is expanding and so on. It's a success, and that's what bothers you the most. That's why you run here to post this attendance or TV ratings stuff. As if that will suddenly make someone say "that game I enjoyed watching/attending, actually that was bad."
