Russell, Maddy, and Tim discuss various rule changes proposed for the upcoming MLS season. They start by brainstorming absurd rule changes, such as adding a third goal and allowing players to use magic. They then delve into the confirmed rule changes, including displaying stoppage time in stadiums, implementing time limits for injury treatment and substitutions, and making VAR announcements in stadiums. The hosts express their excitement for these changes and discuss their potential impact on the game. They also ponder the sustainability of the current financial landscape in soccer and the challenges it poses for teams without significant financial backing. The conversation covers a range of topics related to salary spend in soccer leagues, financial disparity, different spending models, emotional connections in sports, MLS salary cap, revenue and spending in sports, and a proposed solution to the MLS scheduling crisis. The discussion also touches on the possibility of pro/rel in MLS and determining the Supporter Shield winner. In this conversation, the hosts discuss various topics related to magic and friendship. They explore the idea that the real magic lies in the friendships we make along the way. The conversation concludes with closing remarks and a reminder to connect with the hosts on social media.
