Follow the money. Look at how Garber has grown the MLS. Almost every damn MLS stadium is in the northeast, west coast, and Texas. He's even looking to add even MORE teams to california and Texas. Look at his policy of refusing to ship his best guys to Europe. Look at how he's trying to sabotage the NASL. Garber wants to fill stadiums and he wants to make money. To hell with what it means for building a good NT.
Even with PR nightmare of not making the world cup. Even with a fan revolt wanting a complete breakup of the soccer leadership structure. The USMNT hired a "more of the same" guy. I really hope it doesn't take more NT embarrassment to finally do what's right for our NT which should be our absolute #1 priority.
