Thanks so much for your constructive response.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. The MLS has adapted to suit the American sporting landscape and by creating its own identity it’s been able to go from strength to strength.

Yes there are elements that have drawn inspiration but they’ve created a unique experience by blending this in with things truly American. A draft and the franchise model for teams makes it uniquely American.

Interesting about the EPL and it’s treatment of die hard fans. Perhaps that’s why clubs feel compelled to raise ticket prices, knowing that they can afford to offset any drop in crowds.

One thing I’m keen to see is if the MLS will ever have a massive impact on the Men’s USNT in the future. If England’s ongoing trophy drought is something to go by and the impact the EPL has had on the team, perhaps not.
