If you frequently read online content about American soccer and you’ve somehow managed to learn about the online push among American soccer fans for promotion and relegation (also known as # ProRelforUSA)
What is promotion and relegation?
Per FIFA statutes, national federations throughout the world organize their professional divisions within open and fluid pyramids where the most competitive clubs rise to the top based principally on sporting merit. Through a system of promotion and relegation, the best-ranked teams in the lower division are promoted to the higher division for the next season, and the worst-ranked teams in the higher division are relegated to the lower division for the next season.
The United States, Canada, and Australia are the only federations in the entire world that have a closed and locked pyramid that suppress their member clubs and confine them to pre-defined classes. The continued deployment of such a
system has residual effects throughout every level of soccer in USA.
Currently, the American soccer leagues operate in a closed structure.
This means that, like most other American sports leagues (think MLB, NBA, NFL), there is a constant group of teams that play year-in and year-out. There’s no chance the Browns would get relegated from the NFL just because they’re consistently atrocious. But that’s not to say teams can’t collapse, move cities or appear.
so what's your opinion steemit people ?
