Carles Gil wins MLS MVP, Don Garber speaks on MLS expansion and media rights, and more: Freedom Kicks for December 8, 2021

Welcome to Wednesday, everyone. Only a few of these left in 2021, so let’s get right. First, a recap of yesterday:

The New England Revolution’s Carles Gil runs away with the MLS MVP award, and deservedly so.

Don Garber spoke today at Gil’s press conference, declaring Las Vegas the frontrunner to be the league’s 30th franchise. He also discussed the league’s future media rights.

MLS updates its diversity hiring policy, giving more opportunities to minority and LGBTQIA candidates for front office and technical positions.

It appears Loudoun United will move to MLS Next Pro in 2023, meaning that next season will be its last in the USL Championship.
