And I disagree strongly. Do you also feel fit to drag leagues like the XFL or do you save your bile for women's sports? People watch the Little League World Series - the ultimate U14 boy's teams. Hell, people sit their asses down to watch cornhole. That's the beauty of sports - there's something for everyone. People like to watch a competition. College sports are inarguably worse than pro sports but people watch them in droves. Incidentally, the NWSL often beat out the MLS in tv viewership.

I disagree wholeheartedly. The league is growing by leaps and bounds. The new LA team averaged over 19,000 and the San Diego team set a record of 32,000 fans - both teams in their first year. I'm a STH for the DC team but would love a home team. I have no interest in the Revs and I haven't been to a Sox or Bruins game in ages. It's an untapped market that just needs investment.

Nickerson is too small - minimum for the league is now 10,000 - and it's turf. The Boston team would start out having the worst facilities in the league. No one would want to come play here.
