This is an interesting result, to a very interesting poll.

If the MLS was to compete during the European calendar, it would be more cohesive to the world's game. Player transfers would be during the same time period, it wouldn't be as hot, and most importantly, the MLS wouldn't be playing during the World Cup every four years. Teams then wouldn't lose their best players to the National Teams which takes away points to be earned and from the quality of play on the pitch for the MLS.

On the other hand, the MLS in the United States would be competing with the NFL, College football, NBA, College basketball, and Hockey. Some people I know watch the MLS because it’s better than baseball in the summer, which is the only sport that the MLS competes with in that time period. If the MLS were to play in the fall, could it be found on television during the weekend? Would some of the teams have a stadium to compete in? Would the people who truly love soccer, miss an EPL, Spanish, or Italian match, to go watch an MLS match? I wouldn’t go to an MLS match, and miss a top league match on television.

It's a great debate, thank you for your participation.

It's a good question, I am suprised that there was a 60-40 vote. I thought it would be a little closer.
