Soccer is massive in the USA MLS is not massive in the USA 🇺🇸 is a world class market for soccer & its people go bonkers for authentic club soccer every year. USA soccer is drastically held back by the U.S. Soccer Federation/MLS closed system. #ProRelforUSA #FIFACWC #USMNT

“You only hate MLS because you’re a eurosnob.” No. I dislike it because it’s fake. It’s a product engineered in boardrooms. Expansion teams, manufactured rivalries, designated players, plastic atmosphere. WWE on grass. Authenticity isn’t about marketing. You either have it or you don’t.

Promotion/relegation is the #1 topic in USA soccer. ...And it's not even close. #ProRelforUSA
PROMOTION/RELEGATION SET TO ARRIVE IN AMERICAN SOCCER IN 2028 🇺🇸📈 USL has unveiled new branding as it prepares to introduce promotion and relegation across three men’s professional divisions: ▫️ USL Premier — Division One ▫️ USL Championship — Division Two ▫️ USL League One — Division Three Clubs would earn promotion, or face relegation, based on their results on the field. The new look launches in January 2027, with USL Premier and the promotion/relegation system planned for 2028.

We are a soccer loving nation that doesn’t care for our own top flight. And @ussoccer catering to MLS is directly to blame. #ProRelForUSA
Pretty huge spike in Peacock sign-ups during the World Cup. Still a little below the sign-ups during the Super Bowl, but it’s very impressive to look back at just how huge the World Cup was in the U.S. — especially when Peacock only had Spanish-language coverage:

No promotion/relegation. #ProRelforUSA
The @HoustonDynamo have a #TexasDerby match against FC Dallas, @BrianChing is being honored in the Ring of Honor, and a win can clinch a playoff spot. Three compelling reasons to get fans into @ShellEnergyStdm. So here’s my question: if a game like this can’t sell out, what does it take? What’s keeping fans away?

If college football embraces #ProRelForUSA before American soccer - American soccer only has itself to blame. Again.

Should MLS and USL combine and create a fully-open promotion/relegation system from division 1 down to the grassroots/amateur level? ANYONE can start a club at the base of the USA soccer pyramid and win promotion up to division 1 through their play on the field. #ProRelforUSA
Time to make some bold moves. Collaborate with USL, create a promotion and relegation system.

Dear World: If you’d like to protect the game, get behind the FIFA candidate fully committed to merit based promotion/relegation. None of the candidates I’ve seen floated have that conviction.

Keep in mind that this is in USA soccer's lower divisions beneath the glass ceiling of a closed division 1. USA soccer is ready for promotion/relegation. #ProRelforUSA

You don’t hear “developed in La Liga”, “La Liga 3”, and “La Liga Youth”. That’s because in legitimate football, clubs are the fundamental entity. In the US, one single entity owns all the teams and, with that monopoly power, puppeteers the Federation. Of course *all the domestic players are going to come from the monopoly. That’s not an accomplishment. That’s a priori going to be the case.
Developed in @MLS, @MLSNEXTPRO, @MLSNEXT ⚽️ In the @USMNT's October window, 21 of the 28 players have ties to Major League Soccer's ecosystem. 📰 ussoc.cr/9a3085
