Like you, practically, it could never be for the reason you stated, and also for the infrastructure presently being put in place by MLS.<BR/><BR/>However, I do see some sort of a foundation for a MLS "Cola-ship" involving the teams in the USL.<BR/><BR/>I just want to know if Garber et al. actually considered a relegation-type format in the beginning or ever? Or did they base the league on the format we see in the NFL, etc.EbullientFatalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502420022767098791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-37517887660408827382008-10-07T09:21:00.000-04:002008-10-07T09:21:00.000-04:00Andrew: Why it wouldn't work from a conceptual sta...Andrew: Why it wouldn't work from a conceptual standpoint?

I'...I enjoy not having to worry about brown people. I'd prefer they worry about me.<BR/><BR/>More important than my feelings on human rights, though, is the realization that a promotion/relegation system involving the USL or a MLS D2 will never emerge due to the coin being spent on these SSS. Not that there was ever a movement for the MLS to install a promotion/relegation meritocracy in the first place. We're Americans (some of us), remember; we like our meritocracy in moderation, and our sports league socialist.<BR/><BR/>Apologies for the digressive rant.
