The biggest problem, really, is that the US owners are competing with three huge American sports - American football, basketball, and (more limited) ice hockey. Both at the professional level and the college level. There is a reason the MLS plays when it does. The most viable money maker would probably be a longer summer UEFA World championship held in the US over 6 weeks. It would be a technical "real competition" but serve as a pre-season tournament for the European teams. It also gives a playoff, which Americans think is necessary to have a "real" champion. Football (the American soccer) just isn't anything but a class-statement in the US, and won't get the same support as American sports (people visit international Rugby matches, too, but don't really follow it. Lacrosse? Don't get me started.) But there is no sport in the US that has a true league champion - and that is what everyone should be worried about - the desire American owners have for a play-off system.

I blame Rodgers... I spent most of the games that season saying, "Is he trying to lose?" And then would lose... Attached is an actual work WhatsApp bit I posted on the staff line, answering my bosses congrats...

Okay is relative - the stroke was massive. However, I am doing better than the medical staff was possible. I have far surpassed the "best case scenario" given to my wife, and well past the "most likely outcome if he lives" outcome. But truth be told, I missed the gory bits - I was in a coma for the first half of the hospitals (first two in Nottingham, second two here in Leicester.) My wife dealt with the worst parts. But I can walk, talk without a slur, and at work full-time, so shouldn't complain (not that stops me...)

Just to say this is my first post in over a year. I had a massive cerebral hemorrhage stroke last May, and spent 5 months in hospitals. I am unable to go to games because I am prone to seizures, due to the scarring - and large crowds can contribute to the cause. However, I completely missed the drop, because I was in a coma! So there is a good side to every tragedy!
