Futbol fan here, and MLS Season Pass holder last season. If you're wondering I support the PHL Union in the MLS (and Tottenham in the PL). Based on comments I keep seeing on social media there are still a fair number of fans who are not happy about this. Part of it having to pay for Apple TV *and* the season pass. But my sense is the true insult is there are no longer home games on local (broadcast) TV. Naturally The Messi Effect helped last season but it will be interesting to see how many renew. I also wonder if the MLS brand is hurting itself over the long term. There s quite a bit of PL on Peacock, for half the price, and 2x to 5x in quality of the play. The Apple MLS partnership might be a good business deal in the short term, but my sense is it's hurting futbol (in the USA) and the MLS over the long. I'd be interested in hearing other's take on the situation.
