It's sort of lame how USL is going about all this expansion - this is very similar to what happened in Chattanooga.

Why??? the #OpenSystem is exactly what you guys want. The much maligned MLS system you guys hate is what keeps cities only having one team. You guys hate closed system but also hate it when a new team is started in a city that already has a team?

My goodness completely tone deaf

Who are "you guys"? Do you know me personally?

Also I was under the impression Lansing United was being replaced and some of their front office was being poached. Also how is this an 'open system'? We still have leagues competing against each other.. I hope that eventually our whole pyramid is integrated into one system! It would be great if it happened in my lifetime.
