thing is, the "american audience" who watches MLS is the "american audience" that follows the premier league, la liga, or the mexican whatever it's called. i don't know ratings but i'd bet you fox soccer which broadcasts the prem gets higher ratings than the mls.

edit: look here:
Fox's taped British soccer tops MLS title game

i think what the mls is doing is wrong in trying to "convert" non-"soccer" watchers into watchers. which isn't going to happen much.

so it half-asses in both directions.

look at this commissioner dude-- basically he wants nfl audiences to start watching mls. because he's an ex-nfl guy.

he's going to lose the people who love the sport while he tries to convince those who don't love it to start watching.

like, clearly he doesn't love it the way he loves american football. in other words, he's a fucking suit in this environment.

(okay, but seriously, no-- he's done a lot of good, but he's not delivering us to the promised land, we're just wandering the desert at the moment)

eh! i gotta get my german tv so i can watch serious business.
