[edit] Size of league
I've removed the text "the largest system of national soccer leagues in North America" from the lead section for discussion here. Chriswonky had added "second" to the line, which I removed as there was no reference or details as to what the largest might be. He has since asked to return it, but after researching the articles on the two systems, it appears to me that the USL is the larger system. I'm basing this on the fact that Major League Soccer has thirteen teams in total, while the United Soccer Leagues encompasses three men's divisions, the women's W-League, and a youth league. The MSL is the top level of professional soccer in the United States (and will be in Canada when Toronto starts play), and perhaps that is what Chriswonky is referring to. However, the text would need to be rewritten to make that point. (The other option is to leave it out, as I've done, since the league articles are linked.) Thoughts? --Ckatzchatspy 09:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've reworked the lead to incorporate the second-tier status, using language from the Portland article. I've also cleaned up the text a bit and removed a redirect. Hopefully this will address Chriswonky's concerns. --Ckatzchatspy 09:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fans
"The two biggest supporters' groups.....both of whom often chant and sing" - unless North American crowds are radically different from those here in Europe, I wouldn't say that the fact that they chant and sing is especially unusual for fans at a football/soccer match, does it really need to be mentioned?
