There is a lot of...taking the lowest common denominator about the sport and the American version of the sport and casting it across the league.
This league is only 17 years old and absolutely has been a mess for some of those years. It really turned a corner around 2007 or so. You really saw the league find its legs in a lot of different ways.
The modern version of the world's sport is a tough physical style of play with great athletes. The MLS values a style of play that Americans find important.
