Oh for fuck sakes, if they want the football business to make it in the US stop wasting money in Beckhams and Messis and put money in their inferior leagues god dammit.
Your info is outdated. They've been investing heavily in youth development and rising south american stars for years now. These types of signings have become very rare, but you can't pass on Messi given the chance. Just go look at the recent signings to see how much it has changed.
Also, the football business is absolutely BOOMING in the US right now, but you've got the right idea - it's because the quality has drastically increased and not because of a few aging star players who struggle to keep up with the league. Messi, though, will definitely put more eyes on MLS both here and worldwide.
every time my friend describes English soccer fans i think "what a giant pack of morons." At least Americans have contained our sports riots to losing/winning championships, they riot over meaningless games.
Yeah, but like, it just hasn't been true except for a stretch of celebrity signings many years ago. Now the league has players like Thiago Almada (22 years old, was on the world cup winning Argentina squad) littered throughout the league. The LA Galaxy still try to wring some old players for one last run, but everyone else stopped doing that a long time ago. Now it's extreme scouting of South America combined with heavy investment on youth development. That's just the clear path the league has been on for years now so the retirement league comments are always coming from people who haven't payed any attention to the league since Beckham.
It's kind of silly to act like aging star players don't frequently take a step down to extend their careers. No one would ever accuse second tier Euro leagues of being unserious retirement homes yet MLS fans have to deal with this every time people who don't follow the league try to comment on it. Is the Belgian league a retirement destination because Komapany went back for a year? It just gets old hearing this when it isn't true. People who actually watch the league can clearly see how young, technical, and athletic it has become.

I'm going to disengage because I hate this kind of disingenuous internet talk.
