I did like the MLS a lot better in the early days, when they Americanized the Hell out of the game. There were no ties, the clock counted downward instead of upward, there were cheerleaders, and the team names weren't nearly as generic.
Alas, they knuckled under and compromised with all the blouse wearing poodle walkers, and Europeanised all of that stuff, while maintaining the divisions and the playoffs. Of course I'd a lot rather have that compromise than one that was the other way around, where they got rid of the divisions and playoffs but kept the shootouts and NCAA clock rules. But it seems like about a third of these games are ending in draws, which makes the product much less watchable imo.
Whoever complained about the cheerleaders needs to be rounded up, so that they can all get kicked in the crotch by an NFL punter.
