It is becoming increasingly popular for a sporting league to dedicate a holiday to become synonymous with that league. For the NFL it is Thanksgiving, NBA equals Christmas and the English Premier League gets Boxing Day.
Since every league has its unique traditions, I believe Major League Soccer should steal the best elements of each to create their own MLS holiday.
With that in mind, here are three proposals for how they should shape… July 4th. I know that MLB has its own celebration for this day, but they like to celebrate every holiday throughout the summer from labor day to mother’s day and everything in between.
