This is a plan to eliminate anything uniquely american, and have their precious soccer here so we are just like everybody else
That would be a wasted effort; Americans will never go for soccer. The foreign replacements may go for it, but they don’t settle for MLS - they watch better leagues (and buy their merchandise) instead. My town had 3 starters on the US team when we hosted in 1994, and is 5 miles from one of the venues used (Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands); locals heralded this as the return of soccer’s popularity to the US.
26 years later I’m still waiting; the league limps along with a fraction of other sports’ revenues, and two women’s leagues have started and folded within that time.
