I enjoyed this read. https://www.sounderatheart.com/2017/7/28/16014666/oalex-anderson-injury-rehab Oalex got injured right before MLS Cup, they waived him in the off season. But they are still taking care of him as he rehabs. Its things like this where MLS teams can stand out from the pack. Treating players right and doing what is best for them is somethings players look for when signing. These are things MLS teams can do to stand out from elsewhere where it can feel like more of a meat grinder.
As I understand it there's always been at least an unwritten rule that MLS teams don't waive injured players and just let them go without help. Generally they don't waive them at all (see St. Ledger taking up a spot on the Rapids roster in 2016 despite being injured literally all season) but if they do they do so with the understanding that they will continue to help the player rehab if that's what the player wants.

Felt the same way. After reading, I thought of a common statement of a religious leader. Whenever asked to read someone's intended address for some event or another, his stock criticism was, "Therefore, what?" The article lacks a strong enough conclusion for the more adversarial relationship he believes USSF should have with MLS. But there's no reason for it anyway. He seems to want more player development, but every team has an academy. Half the league has subordinate USL franchises. Is there something he or others think is an ineffective way to spend this money? Exactly what should be done that isn't, or is done wrong, and why should the USSF threaten decertification to accomplish it when cooperation has been so effective thus far?
Could you imagine if your favorite team lost its major sponsor and as a result may not be able to operate anymore? That would suck.
Sure I can. I've spent 16 years listening to MLS fans freak out, talk like morons, o erreact and swear vengeance on various commercial entities for a lot less. Unlike MLS however, NASCAR sponsors foe top teams can be replaced in a heartbeat, whereas MLS sides are still sponsored by 800 number work from home vitamin sales multi level marketing scams. I would just caution you that while in the fever swamps of the internet terms like redneck may be popular, among normal people it's considered an insult.to a whole bunch of fine fine folks. The fact that you hate them.without actually knowing them says much more about you than.it does about NASCAR.
Oh I do understand this bit If U.S. Soccer does not sanction MLS as a professional league then it would be a potentially fatal step backwards.
Sure. And if MLS didn't have a lot of very expensive lawyers on retainer, then USSF might actually have some meaningful leverage. I read that, too. And I got the insinuation. It's more red meat to the type of fans who think pro/rel is realistic (or even desirable). It's simplistic, and stated in vague terms with no real indication of how it should be used or what possible consequences would come from it. The thought that USSF would hold D1 sanctioning over MLS's head is about the most ludicrous suggestions I've seen in years - and I've seen a lot of ludicrous stuff.
Fever swamps of the net?! Here in super educated progressive Boston I hear the term all of the time. Yet, these highly educated folks /students don't get why there is backlash towards their thought process.... .....it's all those dumb rednecks who don't get it of course.
Gilbert and Sullivan? Maybe there is a joke here that's obvious to everyone else that I'm just missing...
Do y'all even know where the term Redneck came from? Not always considered a pejorative, not to the Rednecks themselves that is.
I was wondering that as well. Shakespeare - yes. Faulkner - yes. But Gilbert and Sullivan? What am I missing?
