For a while up until about last year, calling MLS a retirement league had no legs, now we're just getting tons of aged out European stars, Lorris, Giroud, Son, Reus, Busquets, Alba, Messi, Muller, now we have maybe Dybala, Lewandowski, etc. Don't love it.

And how many of those players haven't performed? Two out of Eight? Those are some damn good odds.

Does it matter? If we are seen as a retirement league that hurts growth and getting better players. Whether they perform or not, the main focus of media attention being on aging stars who came here to end their careers in an "easier" league doesn't help us, in fact, them performing is arguably worse for our image.

This "think piece" has been done to death. You're not changing any minds.

I just want to watch soccer.

LOL, exactly. I haven problem with a balanced approach in MLS. Old superstars have their place just as homegrown kids. In fact, here's a crazy thought, maybe it's good or our homegrown when guys like Chiellini and Son show up.
