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.
