Masculinity that revolves around getting one's dick wet is no masculinity at all and I really can't stand the idea that "the left" must concede otherwise

That team runs over Montreal in the final, and I think he retires on top

Sigh

Ratboy's only redeeming quality is that he's good on television. A shame about everything else about him....

This is a really shitty, pretentious, and dumb thing to have thought, written, and published and all it accomplished was wildly decreasing one's opinion of you

...more likely to be successful if we just plain don't care about MLS anymore.

Basically, to me it's not about competing with MLS, or supplanting the established top flight. It's simply about equality of opportunity for all, let the product flourish as much as it can, and play our own game.

...inherently viewed through the MLS prism, but rather the gains of a fledgling league beginning a new journey for American soccer. There is no competition, except on the pitch during the Open Cup. And I think we as USL fans and reform proponents are healthier, happier, and...

..but a true one.

Further, while I believe promotion and relegation, a D1 league, and robust TV/streaming distribution will take the USL to new heights, they will always be the ABA to MLS's NBA. And frankly I think that's okay. We need to reframe the USL's successes so that they are not...

MLS is the richest soccer league in the world by revenue outside the Big Five, a multibillion dollar business that is the undisputed top flight in the US and Canada. The USL is, for all intents and purposes, a minor league outfit. This is a cynical and unfortunate characterization that I hate...

I am excited and think it is going to work, but I don't think the USL will "explode in size" (at least, certainly not without being subsidized with USMNT/USWNT TV rights the way MLS was)

And I think we need to pump the brakes on the idea of "competing with MLS" altogether, unless it's on the pitch

The Braves or their stadium shouldn’t be allowed on national TV until they can go 90 minutes without 40,000 hicks doing the chop

Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas
