“We want to work with U.S. Soccer to develop a strong professional soccer league. Does U.S. Soccer have problems?  Yes. Every organization does. But we want to work with them to be a part of thesolution. Being a sanctioned professional league gives you access to PRO referees, allows you to be a credible force in the international transfer market, and helps with any number of small thingsacross the board, such as immigration issues and scheduling with international sides. We don’t want to fight a war. We just want to play.”
