how does pro/rel make soccer in the US better?


it forces clubs to keep moving forward because in a pro/rel system if you aren't getting better you're getting worse and you're risking your status. Steel sharpens steel in this environment, making our clubs more competitive in the CONCACAF Champions League and also because teams have to keep moving forward they will have incentive to improve their youth setups and player development which will help the USMNT

Nah man the franchise system when you have no incentive to improve and get a higher draft pick is so much better.

There are three levels of competitiveness in pro/rel.

Compete for the title, compete for Europe (or other competitions), or stay up.

The incentive for West Brom, Stoke, etc to stay up leads most of those lower tier sides to play shite football. The race to 40 points is fun, but I like when sides take risks and not play absurdly conservatively.

Just cause it is done in most leagues does not mean it is necessary. If a European league was created now, do you think many teams in the top league would want it? frick no.
