What winter sports? Curling? 

I have been reading about the MLS going to the international schedule.

MLS really should. The only other league in the northern hemisphere that I can think of that has a summer schedule is in the RoI and their good players all play somewhere else.

International schedule means competing with football for a large chunk of the season

So play on Saturday or whatever day doesn't conflict with pointy ball.  That's what, 15 games a season?

Pointy ball has Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday night depending on how you view high school games

they noted that the United are routinely selling out games. Maybe Soccer has finally reached the point where it can stand on its own?

The Scandinavian leagues all play through the summer, because of their winter climate. Tends to give their clubs an advantage in the Euro competitions qualifying rounds - everyone else is just getting going.

I think they’re Susan O’Malley sellouts. My kids’ youth leagues are constantly getting promotions with extremely cheap tickets
