The vast majority of sports fans in the United States indicated their preparation for the MLS lockout by continuing to ignore Major League Soccer and watching European and Liga MX soccer instead.

“Wait, which league was going to do what,” asked Tigres fan Juan De León.

According to research, the vast majority of sports fans in the United States weren’t aware that the owner operators within Major League Soccer used a clause within the current collective bargaining agreement to force the players association to negotiate modifications to the existing CBA and then threw a fit when the players didn’t offer to work for free.

“We are talking about Major League Soccer…. right?” stated Manchester United fan Brandon Stuart. “Are they not playing this year? Did the games start yet?”

Liverpool fan Javier Gutierrez asked, “are they still playing or starting? I always forget when the season starts here.”

Bayern Munich fan Samantha Hughes stated, “Yeah, so…. to be honest… I probably wasn’t going to watch any games anyway…. so in reality this fixes that problem.”
