SI Survey of MLS

Is this surprising that Dallas does not get a much love from the players?

However, It appears the Pacific Northwest teams in Seattle and Portland are creating something special.

Wow. Surprised Schellas was at the top of the list of coaches players don't want to play for.

I understand the stadium atmosphere though. They asked for that when they put the thing in Oklahoma - and didn't even bother to shade the stands for a summer sport.

The cotton bowl was fun when the burn was there. Bring it back!

That's the biggest thing. The summer heat in Dallas isn't matched anywhere else in the league, is it?

My mistake. Houston is so forgettable. (I'm kidding, all of you Houston Mustangs! Just forgot about the Dynamo.)

I am not an expert on soccer franchises, but Clark Hunt is considered one of the worst owners in the NFL. IN particular, the Chiefs under Hunt are considered a horrible place to work (and the results on the field were horrible BTW). If the soccer team is run the same way, ....

Schellas is a very tough coach to play for. He also got rid of a lot of players when he first came in.

Dallas has never gotten as much traction as it should. Having started as league owned, it got lower levels of attention when it was trying to get established and does not seem to have overcome over time.
