Why parity is overrated and what the MLS really needs is….dominance.

"The" immediately tells me your opinion is going to be in bad faith or a knee-jerk reaction. Go back to what you know.

MLS started with dominance between New England and Houston, most of the league from that time no longer exists.

@TaylorTwellman This is what the open system forces. All it takes it one or two rich guys and the game is forever changed. Everyone else has to decide whether to spend and keep up or risk demotion.

10% - Patriots, NFL/SB 🏆 23% - Yankees, MLB 🏆 24% - Maple Leafs, NHL 🏆 54% - Bayern, Bundesliga 🏆

@TaylorTwellman The weird system is why MLS survived and now thrives. You would lose 4 or 5 clubs if you opened the flood gates. It has to be gradual, which is the plan

No one is a fan of the Washington Generals.

@TaylorTwellman All of our Leagues have a nice degree of Parity. And all are successful. NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, MLS. Not one team dominates. During the "mighty" Brady/Patriots era, 9 or 10 other teams won the Super Bowl during their "reign" 😂

This opinion is wrong and they should feel bad

MLS has the most Billionaires of any league. And easily has 9-10 clubs that are ambitious enough to spend. The league doesn’t has to be reckless with their spending, but they should allow clubs spend whatever they’re comfortable with while paying a luxury tax (like the NBA)

Facts

@TaylorTwellman The league looks the other way for certain clubs and allows them to break all the roster rules. They are trying what Spencer suggests but failing because they aren’t willing to pay 11 good players, only 4 or 5 max.

Maybe…. BUT! They have to, at some point, go back to an even playing field like the NFL. Even in the 70’s and 80’s, those dynasties were aberrations. It was just dumb luck.

As a fan in a smaller mls market, they would lose entire fan bases here if that were to happen. Parity is what drives the 75% of the league that exist in the smaller markets. Hope exists that anyone can win that championship. Makes the league great!

Spencer might be right.

This guy is an idiot. NFL, NBA & NHL all endorsed parity. Why? They used to have Superteams. But no one liked it. They were losing fans. Now fans have hope. If MLS had a superteam no one would care if they won CCL. Fans would stop caring. Stop watching.
