(Full disclosure: In addition to my MLS writing for Forbes.com, I am an active MLS bettor and handicapper for ActionNetwork.) The year before, it became the first American league to allow individual clubs to pursue jersey sponsorship agreements with domestic gambling firms. That alone is less transparent than the other North American leagues. The amount of information and access MLS teams freely give is greater than most leagues on the planet. There’s also the fact that MLS media coverage lags those other major U.S. sports.
