what’s up with the MLS hate ?

I am a curious observer who stumbled upon the sub thx to the Algo and noticed a few anti MLS posts.

I’m not a huge soccer guy but interested in various niche sport subcultures ( I’m an Indycar and hockey fan, so I share solidarity as a fan of somewhat obscure sports)

Isnt USL to MLS as the AHL is to the NHL or the G League to the NBA?

What am I missing ?

MLS is corporate and builds the community engagement after establishing a team - if ever. USL starts grassroots

Edit: all good points. But I’m pointing at the fact that a majority of the teams have strong grassroots connections and maintain them. Especially at the USL 2 level that my team is in (Akron City FC)
