Well, that's a new one on me. Not sure I've seen government officials clashing with the police before... unless you count police attacking politicians during the George Floyd riots.

I think whoever created that community screwed up the naming:
https://lemmy.world/c/mls@lemmy.world
It SHOULD be lemmy.world/c/mls, but the real address is /c/mls@lemmy.world
I'm betting kbin can't parse /m/mls@lemmy.world@lemmy.world
It's awesome that you support a club that has zero chance to win the league. Good on you, for real. You're out there giving your energy and spirit to them with no expectations, which is great.
However, this is the difference between 5 teams always winning it every single year with 15 other teams possibly having a snowball's chance in hell of winning it once every 50 years and 60 teams hoping they can crack into that 15 every few years, vs 20 teams that have a decent shot to win every year, but the 60 teams in lower leagues have literally zero chance of ever winning it. Pro/rel is more exciting if you are a fan of a lower league team, but it more firmly cements the top 5; while a closed league is more exciting for fans of teams in that league or fans of the sport in general.
It's a different philosophy on sports. We get to have the excitement of our teams having a chance to actually win the league. You get to have the excitement of your teams staying in the league or moving up to a higher league, plus the occasional European trophy.
