Meet the Man Behind the Promotion-Relegation Banner at MLS Cup 2014
As many of us know already Ben Fast (@bwfast) was the man behind the Promotion and Relegation banner during the MLS Cup Finals. Sean O’Leary took the time to interview him this week …
Unless you are completely unaware, the lack of promotion and relegation in American soccer has been a sore sport for many, as it is custom in every other country playing soccer in the world.
Through a coincidence, my recent post on a hypothetical relegation league for the NFL drew the attention of Ben Fast, who just happened to be the man behind the now-legendary MLS Cup banner.
This week, I interviewed Ben (@bwfast) about his motives and whether promotion/relegation is realistic here.
