## Resource

MLS season is underway, which means it's time for our Rondo guys to get excited about American soccer again. To be honest, they missed it quite a bit. So, to kick things off, we decided to ask one big fat question: Is MLS actually good? Sure, Lionel Messi plays here and teams are now valued at nearly $1.5 BILLION. But does anyone want to watch the product on the pitch? Should they care? And, most importantly, is this a RETIREMENT LEAGUE?Raheemovic, Corbin Mills, and Tom Hindle break down the league shortly after its 31st birthday as it moves from startup to major player in the soccer world.
