First up today, we ask if the Premier League is holding back the growth of American soccer? The Premier League is looking to capitalize off the World Cup boom in the United States with their coast-to-coast watch parties for the opening weekend. Does this invasion from abroad come at the expense of American soccer or does the league’s self-promotion also lift American clubs? Robert and Jason discuss. Mexico, meanwhile, is trying to move closer to its American cousins. Liga MX temporarily suspended promotion and relegation during the Covid pandemic to help save costs and is now taking steps to make that suspension permanent. Mexico’s owners are getting together to alter the governance of the league that will keep all 18 of them in the top flight forever while protecting their profit margins. Color us surprised here at Morning Kickaround.  Finally, we have an update on Boston Legacy’s efforts to rehabilitate White Stadium. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has cleared the way for construction to proceed at the historic stadium. The NWSL expansion club has a grand vision for the site that includes a state-of-the-art women’s soccer stadium and public access to the site for 15 hours a day, seven days a week.  Check out the show live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 AM ET on YouTube where you can join the channel and become an MK Ultra. Perks include access to our community Discord, early access to bonus video, priority commenting on the live show and much more. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Yo…","meta_description":"Welcome to a new week and welcome to a new edition of Morning Kickaround!
