The salary cap is so indoctrinated in your mind that these greedy sports owners have convinced you that the sport wouldn't survive without it.
It would survive, it'd just put a bigger strain on their pockets.
anytime I read a anti-MLS article, they always speak to how the teams are struggling to even be run profitably.
So again, I don't think you can compare the pockets of MLS to the major redneck sports of America.
the salary cap is literally training wheels for MLS, can't say its the same for the NFL when they're raking in billions every year.

Didn't know MLS was that low on the ranking. Even our league is surprisingly #16 on that list.
The salary cap needs to go ASAP, at least in my opinion. It's fine when your league is the NBA, the best and richest league in the world (and therefore is able to attract the most talent), but I don't see how the MLS can ever compete with leagues that pay their top talent much more.
It doesn't even have to be a "big 5" league. If I'm an up and coming talent, what incentive do I have to join an MLS team compared to one in the other top 21 paid leagues in the world? I'd much rather join an inferior league while earning more and living overseas, instead of playing for some middle of nowhere team like "Real" Salt Lake. Hell, I'd take a pay cut to play in the J/K League instead of being stuck in a non major metro area MLS team.

Misread this initially but Neymars sister could have it all...
I really think they believe that a playoff structure is universally compatible with every sport. It's a bunch of old guys who own franchises in other major sports who see how nub cash "post season" generates.
they think "their" way is the right way.
The irony is you're projecting that same thinking onto MLS and many other parts of the world.
The European way is not the "right way," the game does not belong to Europeans. To think that playoffs are incompatible with football is a very Eurocentric way of thinking.
In some ways Mexico is the greatest league in the Western Hemisphere, and it crowns its champion via traditional knockout league playoff.
Colombia crowns its champion via traditional knockout league playoff, every country in Central America does as well.
Half of South American crowns its final champion for the year via a playoff between the two seasons Clasura and Apertura champions.
European way is not the "right way," they don't need to dictate competition format for anyone else. As Americans, we really need to learn that.
