NASL, NPSL teams file claim over promotion/relegation
Two lower-tier teams in the U.S. have launched a claim with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to try and impose promotion and relegation in the U.S. Soccer pyramid.

i would probably bet my life that pro/rel will not be achieved by going through the courts.

I wish Trump would deport every single pro/rel soccer dork.

i'm not at the base of it anti-pro/rel in North American Soccer. I'm anti the Pro/Rel Truthers, also anyone who thinks MLS franchise owners would go for it.

also, if we every see pro/rel at the top flight, it won't be due to court mandate, and it won't be rolling in NASL/USL and existing leagues into a pyramid. It would be an MLS and MLS2 still done exclusively with clubs that buy into the MLS structure, and that also will not happen.

i can't even imagine how devastating financially it would be to an mls franchise to be relegated to a meaningless conf.

i mean i have no idea but i have to think there are zillions of diehard Sunderland (or whatever) fans still mushing their way through the turnstiles no matter what. no mls franchise has that kind of fan base.

Yea, if it ever came about it would just be MLS 1/MLS 2 type of thing, it's not just going to be hey, you won the NASL, you're now in MLS.

Yeah while there are a handful of NASL and USL teams that draw well, almost all of them would be mocked if they were MLS attendance numbers, and more than half of the current MLS clubs would have less than 30% to capacity attendance if they went down to MLS2/NASL/USL

Yup, which is why I find it so damn funny NASL is trying to sue their way into a top division path.

Honestly if anything, NASL should be spearheading an effort to break USL and MLS's partnership and create a pyramid below MLS including NASL, USL, USL2, PDL, and the Canadian Premier league. Their best way to prove their concept would be to create the model they want independent of MLS and hope that drives something.

Vermes is far and away the best in MLS and that article is proof of it. Sunil would be an idiot not sign him up after the '18 WC, but if he doesn't, Sporting will ALWAYS be a playoff team, and be in the hunt for trophies.

If we could get one guy who likes to finish at the net.......(and Dom wasn't really cutting it either).......

No good reason that points were given away.  I also didn't appreciate their clydesdale running roughshod through our D on their goal mowing people down, but whatevs, it was too soft and they never should have allowed that situation to happen.
