This Soccer Fan Gets a Free Kick at Jones

I enjoy reading Grahame L. Jones on soccer, but his commentary of March 6, ridiculing the proposal of “any” change to the size of goals for Major League Soccer, should earn him a yellow card for writing that is dangerous to the continued existence of MLS. The article fails to analyze the key question: Will increased scoring bring in more fans? If it will, the innovation should be adopted.

The arguments put forth by Jones against any change in the size of goals are flimsier than a $10 soccer ball.
