there are other leagues in cold areas of the northern hemisphere that play in their respective winter times?
swedish league playing right now...the world football calendar typically does leagues aug-may and summer tournaments/qualification. so every country, even where it doesnt make sense, follows suit. except for the us.
I love promotion and relegation but it's a complete nonstarter in a league that is minimally financially viable as it is.
i want it for all sports but it basically a death sentence for whoever gets relegated. nobody is buying tickets for a 2nd division mls team
