  • Excellent!

    Feel like a total front running CHUD for getting into MLS as my local club (Nashville SC) becomes the 1927 Yankees but circumstance often determines interest. Went to a game on a whim and man the live experience is above any major US sport Can you tell me more about how DPs work and how players move? Think a large part of the barrier to entry for many US sports fans is the differential in player movement vs the microwave and eventized nature of say NHL, MLB, NFL. Love the pod!
