BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

If MLS runs from July-May, with a winter break, it's not terrible. Really only means June is open.
My biggest worry was losing some summertime MLS action as it's a great alternative to the winter European football months.
Sounds like we'll still get that, though.

Love the idea of divisions over conference, though. The competition needs a format change to spice things up. Make playoffs like NFL -- divisions matter, one-off playoff matches. Done.
