My work is to usher in the upcoming USA soccer promotion/relegation system. It's time to wake the sleeping giant of world soccer ⚽️. - #ProRelforUSA
Soccer is massive in the USA MLS is not massive in the USA 🇺🇸 is a world class market for soccer & its people go bonkers for authentic club soccer every year. USA soccer is drastically held back by the U.S. Soccer Federation/MLS closed system. #ProRelforUSA #FIFACWC #USMNT

My friend sent me this from the Portland Hearts of Pine match last night. I agree...the USA is more than ready for promotion/relegation!
We need an open system into which every US club is invited. MLS doesn’t have independent clubs. The only way an MLS side could realistically join is by escaping MLS to become a real independent club. #ProRelforUSA

This is the atmosphere for USA soccer's unpaid/amateur level in 2025 (division 4). Who else thinks that USA soccer is ready for promotion/relegation? #ProRelforUSA
This is the crowd for a 4th division unpaid/amateur soccer club in Vermont, USA in the current year (2025). Who else thinks that USA soccer is ready for promotion/relegation? #ProRelforUSA #USL
This is what one American state will look like in the upcoming USA soccer promotion/relegation system. #ProRelforUSA

We’ve taught them well @Wrexham_AFC fans , possibly due to the success of @WrexhamFX

We can't solve USA soccer's pay-to-play problem unless we reverse toxic closed-market @ussoccer policy. #ProRelforUSA #ReformUSSF #USMNT ben-fast.com/2018/05/27/wha…
The upcoming USA soccer promotion/relegation ecosystem will be made up of two separate East and West pyramids. Each half can have stand-alone division one, and there will also be the option for a nationwide USA SuperLeague featuring the top clubs from both halves. #ProRelforUSA

There is a reason why MLS captures a smaller and smaller slice of the total USA soccer fan audience each year (6% and shrinking). American soccer fans know the difference between authentic and inauthentic soccer. #ProRelforUSA
USA soccer isn't just stagnating under the MLS/USSF closed system... it's going backwards. Who else is ready for promotion/relegation and authentic clubs in USA soccer? #ProRelforUSA #USMNT

Today in USA soccer history: 90,000+ Americans flock to watch authentic club soccer (PSG vs. Atleti) in Los Angeles, CA. USA soccer's 50+ million soccer fan population craves real club soccer while they totally ignore the inauthentic MLS closed system. #ProRelforUSA #FIFACWC
Promotion/relegation in USA soccer means that all communities, fans, and clubs in America have a fair chance to win a place in USA soccer's division 1 through their play on the field. Nothing is more American than #ProRelforUSA.
The @USL_HQ internal #ProRelForUSA plan has already failed. Plans for a proper open system would have generated $billions in new investment already. Difficult to say how much their plan bas generated - but it’s certainly a tiny fraction of that.
