Soccer Coverage

MLS Season Pass on Apple TV+ has the potential to change the way soccer is viewed all over the world. In fact, it can be viewed all over the world... but will people sign up. It's a big risk for Apple and MLS because if this succeeds, it's revolutionary, however, there is more soccer available on TV and streaming now more than ever so maybe some people turn off to MLS completely and just follow another league? Should fringe-mainstream leagues like USL, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, etc take this opportunity to fill that gap left by MLS?
