It’s funny that now MLS ownership wants to use attendance for anything scientifically relevant, when they’ve been manipulating the data for 20+ years. “Manipulating” was the nicest word I could come up with.
The @MLSPA shouldn’t budge one single inch. #BusinessMetrics
Maybe you decide you have too much salary on the books in 2021. Take a stroll on down to the Anthony Precourt School of Book Cookin’, and learn how to drive away your fanbase. No promotions, all big games on Wednesday, slash marketing, no toilet paper: BOOM.
Or you could just make them stay in the parking lot until the game kicks off. Report however many people accidentally got into the stadium at an arbitrary time as the attendance number. You’re not the bad guy! They did this to themselves! Weakness for queso! You’re the victim!
Sorry, players. Nothing we can do about this. As you can see on any of the many r/MLS attendance circlejerk threads, you’ll have to take a pay cut. We were playing hashtag for the city and everything, there was nothing else that could’ve been done. Please respect the ambition.
If we learned anything through #SaveTheCrew it’s that there is a non zero number of MLS owners that will attempt to use manipulated #BusinessMetrics to harm their employees and consumers.
Don’t give them that weapon, @MLSPA. Because they’ll use it.
