I guess I'd rather watch quality soccer over worrying that some billionaire will make money.

I agree with you that the standard of the MSL isn’t great, but it will take decades for any US system to regularly produce world level players.

I don’t think it’s the model that is at fault, more that football is still a relatively nascent sport in the US - I personally don't care for the set up of the league for competitive interest, but there’s certainly a good argument to make sure that football is established before MSL reaches for greater heights, given the history of past leagues.
