TODAY'S AMERICAN SOCCER STORY

The Much Lousy Soccer (MLS) Soccer league (I stole that from a British newspaper columnist) is getting less lousy. But now they want to further thin out the talent at the top level by adding another top flight team. What they need to do is follow the British model from 100 years ago and start adding teams at lower levels. Then they can adopt a relegate/promote system so you truly have the best teams at the top level and all the others play to their home crowd only and don't bother the rest of us trying to watch a good game on ESPN.
