The business model is convince cities to build soccer stadiums for rich owners who will pay expansion fees to existing owners.

Expansion fees are, of course, for 1/X (where X is the number of teams) of MLS LLC. Interestingly enough, every other sports in the US charges expansion fees, but only for MLS is it 'nefarious'.
It is amazing, btw, how you are so intelligent in business that you can see through something that multiple sponsors and billionaire business people in many different cities can't see. They need to sign you up to CEO a Fortune 500 company right away!
