Incredible AI slop that uses the word “hypotheses” and the phrase “Without further ado”… A very good article about MLS’ future. Makes me wish since we were switching seasons this spring had been the “sprint season” and we were coming out of the World Cup with a fresh start.
Maybe not AI slop? It starts with "dicarted"! "Any hypothetical assumption has been dicarted by the coach." AI would not have such an egregious spelling error! (The article is AI slop) They also used "Without further ado" incorrectly "Without further ado, the Chicago Fire replaced their star striker with a veteran who proved he was still good enough for Europe this past season and whom the club expects to do the same in Chicago and lead them to an MLS Cup." No, they signed Lewandowski first and "without further ado" sold Cuypers. "Good enough for Europe this past season"? And the 18 seasons prior?!?

That sucks. Dismantle the team! A "Fire Sale"!!! Zinckernagel to Tigres for $1.99 million Bamba to Club America for $2.2 million Dean to Toluca for $5 (not million, just 5 American dollars!)

Sad to hear Franco’s return is months away. Still hoping for full recovery but this timetable raises my level of concern.
