The soccer league called the MLS won't make it because the way it has been run has caused curious sports spectators like myself who even gave the NHL a good chance to become a league I could have followed long term to be disinterested with it's unwatchable play. The failure of meaningful sports leagues such as the USFL makes it difficult for a MLS type of league to succeed long term. The XFL experiment also made the problem much more worse than it should be to make a league that is not historic become long lasting.
