@GoFish correct...to put it in perspective the nfl generates 22 billion in revenue whereas the mls generates 2 billion. the nfl is pretty popular in canada too. even i have been to a few games 😊

Vegas is an entertainment hub. It makes total sense that they'd want a football team. They cater to the world.

Because not everyone thinks soccer is boring. Either that, or they see money-making opportunities for a team in Vegas.

@Waveney a billionaire in vegas actually wants to buy the vancouver whitecaps which is for sale. the whitecaps are selling because they currently have to play in a stadium that is owned by the provincial government which restricts revenue from the current owners. it's a real mess. the mls was going to award vegas with a 1/2 billion franchise fee anyway but they'd rather buy an existing team and move it. the mls doesn't want that and nor do the other owners that get a piece of the franchise entry fee. we are one of the top teams in the league and even made it to the finals last year.....it would be a shame to leave. but now everyone is running around trying to save the team with local ownership but government needs to stop being "government"...like i said it's a real mess

Enjoy it without being so angry about other people’s individual tastes and preferences.

@RedBaron perhaps you see it that way...yes i'm being judgmental, but i'm not angry. was there no truth in what i said?
RedBaron · M
@beermeplease Maybe, but it’s not for you to judge those who disagree with you.
beermeplease · M
@RedBaron i wasn't disagreeing with anybody....it was merely a question to the facts
