From the KSL article about the Miller's buying RSL there was a quote from Garber.
"The fact that we, together, can take this sport and combine the power of what makes sports so important and how it can enrich and improve lives," Garber said. "Particularly in a state like Utah that has such strong participation, speaks to the momentum and the vision and the opportunity that this sport, this club, and our sister club, the Royals, can have in just making our country a powerful soccer nation."
I can't stand Garber, never could even when I was a die hard "MLS can do no wrong" fan.
But he thinks MLS and the NWSL can make the US a powerful soccer nation. Dude, have you not been paying attention? The US is getting worse at soccer, not better!
MLS has been around almost 30 years! And women's soccer I have no idea, sometimes it is here and sometimes it goes away.
But over the past 30 years, with maybe one or two exceptions, the US has never gotten better at soccer on the world stage. We are always struggling to even qualify for the World Cup, last time we didn't even make it.
And Garber keeps spewing this garbage about us becoming a powerful soccer nation. One can argue it is because of MLS and the lack of real competition that the US has never been, and most likely never will be a powerful soccer nation.
Dude, get lost.
Oh, and by the way, the Utah Warriors are now in 1st place in Major League Rugby. How's RSL doing?
