MLS: Hanging on to Patrick Vieira about more than New York City FC

Maybe it’s because I cover the Premier League as much as I cover MLS, but I do grow rather tired of European fans brushing off America’s brand as if it were a bargain-bin league.

Mostly because America offers some key components of daily life that you can’t get in European leagues. Namely, that it’s America, and America rocks.

MLS is America’s latest maverick endeavor to create their own brand in the face of a global, European brand that has long gone uncontested as the “right way,” which was only the case because they had a monopoly.
