[Straight Shooter]

This is a good move for MLS. This deal will give them the profile boost that the league needs.

I was hoping the article would explain the connection between basketball and soccer. Turns out it's just a TV deal...

The MLS is garbage. It's the equivalent of single A baseball. The talent level is beyond sub-par.

If I'm not mistaken it was NBC who thought it would be a good idea to televise the XFL. They clearly have a track record of not looking stupid.

Which means Versus is going to be showing the games right after 100 of the Worlds Greatest Dirtbike Crashes.

Great news for the five fans who actually watch MLS.

And just something hilariously one-sided that I noticed... MLS's deal is till 2014 worth ten million a year. The NHL's new deal with NBC is for ten years and is worth 1.9 billion overall.

Exciting news for both MLS fans.
