00:00There's a massive new generation of younger people, Scott, who are massively in to the

00:09MLS, point blank.

00:10And it's not just Messi, all right?

00:12It's sort of like the Caitlin Clark stuff.

00:14You know, the Las Vegas Aces built a new arena and are selling 12,000 tickets before Caitlin

00:18Clark was in the WNBA, right?

00:21She's added to it.

00:22But you can't dispute, like, you look at the MLS, bro.

00:26The Atlanta United do better than the Atlanta Falcons do, Scott.

00:29I acknowledge that.

00:30Could you imagine?

00:31Atlanta, Portland, Seattle.

00:32Football.

00:33They love it.

00:34Football country.

00:35The South.

00:36Charlotte.

00:37How many people go to Carolina Panthers games, bro?

00:39Their stadium's empty.

00:40That's because they suck.

00:41Like, seriously.

00:42Charlotte FC gets 25,000 people a game.

00:45I can go down the list here.

00:47Nashville, another market, 26,000 people a game, Scott.

00:50They don't just play eight games in a year.

00:52They play too many games in the MLS.

00:54They play, like, freaking 36 games.

00:56So we're talking about 18 games throughout a regular season.

01:00Nashville, averaging 26,000.

01:02Toronto's always been a model franchise, averaging 25.

01:05What is New York Football Club and the Red Bulls?

01:07They're seventh in attendance.

01:08New York FC is 25,000, and Red Bulls are 22.

01:15You lived here, just so we're clear.

01:17I live here.

01:19And when they do the sports in this town, which is real quick, three minutes, the only

01:24time I've ever seen a New York Football Club story was when they won the title.

01:29When they won the title.

01:30They didn't show any of the games leading up to the title.

01:33They just said, hey, look, they won the title.

01:36They don't care here about it.

01:38How much time did they give to the New York Islanders, Scott?

01:40How much time?

01:41I watch New York media still.

01:44I get on every channel.

01:45Dude, they don't talk about the Islanders.

01:47They don't talk about the Devils.

01:49You know what I mean?

01:50So, like, judging us from that.

01:52Hockey doesn't get much more juice than the MLS to begin with.

01:55Okay, I had a boss for 25 years tell me, stop talking hockey.

02:00No one cares.

02:01Like, I'm telling you, they have a team here, two of them, and, like, you wouldn't even

02:05know it.
