I did a `curl https://plaintextsports.com/mls/standings https://plaintextsports.com/mls/standings` and, to my surprise, got an HTML response back (rather than just plaintext data).
Seems like this isn't actually plaintext (as in the mimetype `text/plain`), but is instead just "minimalist-aesthetic sports" (with the caveat that for some reason there's CSS styling to make the font unreadably small at 2560x1440, which was what led me to try `curl` in the first place, assuming that since it'd be plaintext, I could just get the data in plaintext without any extra CSS formatting making it hard to read).
