I say more negative things about the league than you say positive things.

You’ll see negative days in the winter in Chicago not in London
I know that for a fact not sure about Germany or Poland so was wondering the same
fact. I spend a lot of time in England during winter time, its never "unbearable".

Yes, but it doesn't make the ones on the weekends any less important.
Great thing about the weekends is that you have a much larger window to air the games than just primetime on weeknights

No one wants to play December games in Toronto, Chicago, or Minnesota. And fans don’t want to sit in 20 degree snow flurries either. It’s a league that depends on gate revenue more than most others.
While this is true, it’s also true that putting your playoffs up against the time of the year when the NFL, College Football, NBA, and NHL are all going is not exactly a winning strategy.

In recent times the highest recorded temperature in May has been 27°C that's 81°F, with the lowest recorded temperature 1°C, about 34°F.
That’s not even freezing.

You're getting undeservedly downvoted. I'm confused as to the source of such delusion.
The entire first half of the season would be buried under the NFL/NCAAF/MLB homestretch. If there's a time to maximize fan interest, it's at the beginning of the season when everyone has playoff aspirations, not in the second half when seasons are lost by that point. They struggle with national ratings as-is, attendance will also suffer if they force spectators to decide their entire fall, particularly in the south. Fall in ATL is owned by the Falcons and UGA. There isn't room for United at the same degree of interest. The reality is the average MLS fan is still a casual and American football comes first.
But you know what? Take the other American sports out of the equation. I'm sure once the MLS schedule is entirely aligned with the far far far superior product in Europe that domestic league interest is going to benefit. Surely.

They hate him because he speaks the truth.
And because he likes Gregg Berhalter

MLS climax should not go against the sport that runs this country
O and want to know how to fix the lost in interest when a team sucks
Drum rolls...........
Make every match count and have promotion and relegation
Fans of a team in a dog fight to stay up will watch and go to matches to back their team

NBA playoffs
MLB opening

MLS playoffs can still do good numbers bc its the end of the season. Playoff games on the weekends would be fine. Going against Football is retarded

that same casual is watching football over MLS regardless
thats an MLS problem that has already been brought up that its niche fan support will do nothing for ratings.
The current MLS calendar will always have the league playing with one hand behind its back.

MLS owners who are also NFL owners just use MLS as a tax write off. They don’t care about any of this. The rest of the MLS owners listen to those guys because they figure they know how to run a successful league.
At this point Soccer in this country is a joke from top to bottom with only a handful of exceptions like Detroit City.
