Yes, but even @emir can see the Daily Mail is false, which given his consideration to all things circumcision, sky pointing and giant lizard/messiah interaction is pretty damning for the old rag.

I don't think we have been, (I don't see that anyway), we are talking about one thing being said about football and commenting on that.

Money generated and socials. The true measure of any sporting competition. Football ain't for you.

I don't think it is more special than anywhere else, it's just different and unique to it's place: like every fandom everywhere.
The difference for me is that we grew up in it. And also (for myself, I can't speak for anyone else) I find meaning in supporting a team that 3 generations of my family before me supported and coming from the same city.
I'm not saying that's "better" but I am saying, only half jokingly, that I don't understand why on earth you'd put yourself through the Everton experience without good reason.

Then why don't they concentrate on making the MLS really good and leave other country's sports alone?

I actually think this terrible idea will be a success of sorts- in terms of revenue anyway. They could hold it in Singapore or something, 80,000 tickets will be snapped up and it will get a good, global audience (mainly from Asia and N.America). But what will be funny is how little the players will take it seriously and there will be loads of late drop-outs (unless players are paid big big money to appear) and, after all the 'fake' injuries, the biggest star name left will be someone like Jarrod Bowen.
This is because it's engrained in American Sports culture, it's not in the UK/Europe. And that's fine.

The non-American players also like the all star game in MLS. It isn't like Paul Arriola loves it and Carles Gil hates it. They all enjoy it to an extent. It's a rare chance to meet up with these guys outside of competition.

The charity match we have is called the community shield which is the game between the F.A cup holders against the League winners from the season before and no one I know takes this game very seriously.
Why would an all-star game be any different ?
It’s just not in our sporting culture just as relegation and promotion isn’t in the US culture and that’s fine.

Mate you can travel from 1 end of our country to the other in about 10 hours, 2 hours if you fly.
The players in this country meet up outside of competition without a fake kick about.

When? They play all the time
They have plenty of time off.

Not really, at least the non-Tom Davies level don't but that isn't what we're talking about?

We have exibition football already, it's called Socceraid.
Players have relationships from International games and former teammates.
Trust me, they find time to socialise.
But anyway, the players in this country are "worked" too hard to find time for meaningless games, so this is a non-starter.
I mean no idea about the MLS, but for players that are Internationals you talking 70 games in a season, like they can be arsed with another 90 for, well, nothing.
