I didn't realize Columbus had a team. If they do, and you didn't just make that up, I hope they win.
is that considered Support?

They do have a team, I did not make it up....they played for the MLS title, but lost to Portland.

Well, with this move....and the move of the Rams also to LA.....guess who may be in line to fill the void in those cities: yes, the "gay" sport. The MLS is looking at being at 28 teams by around 2020-2022.
Prime MLS expansion targets are: St. Louis, which the NFL abandoned, Sacramento...which, if the Raiders move to LV, it along with Oakland which constitutes the "East Bay" fan base of the Raiders. San Antonio/Austin, Raleigh, Tampa, Detroit....and now, I suspect San Diego could easily be high on the list to put an MLS team in. Huge Hispanic, soccer oriented population....no competing "real" football team.
The MLS is already in the largest 3-4 non NFL markets: Portland, Orlando, Columbus, Salt Lake
Going into Sacramento and San Diego and San Antonio and St. Louis and Raleigh would put them into like 8 of the 30-32 largest Metropolitan areas in the US....with no NFL competition in those markets (plus they are in Toronto and Montreal)
The largest metro area in the country that an MLS team is not in is Detroit (#10 largest metro area)...and Detroit is also on the target list for MLS expansion.
If an MLS team went into Detroit, guess which metropolitan area would be the largest without an MLS team? Answer: Cleveland/Akron/Canton.

Couldn't resist?

The point of my post above is that I think it is unjustifiable for the NFL to cede those markets mentioned above to the "gay" sport.
Of the 25 largest metropolitan areas in the USA, the NFL is absent from 6 of them.
After proposed expansion, the MLS will be absent only from at most 2-3, including Cleveland

Yea soccer's pretty gay

I raise the glass of Laphroaig I'm drinking right now to them. Cheers!

Right. In your dreams.

Seriously? Have you been paying any attention at all? Baseball had perhaps its finest moment in decades just now. It had basically unprecedented ratings. It had record attendance. It had 5 million people show up for a victory parade.
Do you think 5 million people would have shown up for a soccer team championship parade?
Soccer is growing.
I am the one that pointed out that soccer could/should perhaps fill the void in places that the NFL is abandoning/ignoring....like San Diego, East Bay, San Antonio, St. Louis, etc.
But beyond that, your statement is what is ignorant.

MLB Baseball and even NFL football has had issues with TV viewership and Gameday attendance particularly with the younger groups in particular the Millenials who have around a 10 second attention span and go crazy while the teams go into the dugout between innings or the pitcher shakes off a pitch.The ignorant lead the charge yet again

Plus they can't manage at all unless they have their cell phone to take selfies and text talk to someone....maybe try a pacifier? All not great for selling tickets.
However there has been some improvement in MLB attendance as of late but we'll have to see if that continues.
Oh and why are more kids going into "soccer".... mommy won't let them play football.

It's a Progressive liberal plot been going on for awhile to make us more like the European fags.

From what I've heard our macho manly AMERICAN FOOTBALL has been making some headway into European and other markets and not just US GIs and American tourists.
....maybe an ounce or two of hope for them afterall? Maybe.

It has, but largely watching, rather than playing. I have really struggled to find anywhere to actually play that isn't at least 90 minutes away and I don't have a car, and I think it's much worse for kids age groups. Finding one team would be tough, let alone enough in the same area to have regular games.
Soccer of course appeals to over protective parents who don't want their kids playing "rough" sports and I'm pretty sure rugby suffers from the same thing here to some degree.

Which is it, a progressive plot, or a liberal plot.

The only thing is the way I understand it, more kids actually suffer concussions from soccer than they do from football. (though other injuries....like knee injuries may not occur as much). I am not sure how accurate this is, but I have heard this.

(d'uh, you hit de' ball with your melon, what a stupid boring game Zzzzzzooooo )
And SHOCKER NCAA and NFL football is now safer than it's been in many decades....well after dragging the NFL into court with a drop dead unwinnable case from their end and the deceased's brain samples to prove it....they settled and enacted the best concussion protocols ever with big fines and ejections to boot!
Result tackling and hitting is done way more correctly than it was when I played full uniform tackle football in the 5th grade. (ok it was flag but it was full tackle in pick up games)
Now try to get mom to agree with this.
