So that huge, major, awesome announcement planned to release today? Yeah, that's just an announcement for the All Star game which has been scheduled for July 27th at Red Bull Arena. No opponent has been announced, but it's rumored to be Barcelona.
I gotta say, this was a huge let down for me. When I hear "major" announcement, I think of league wide changes, events, etc that are planned to improve the league as a whole. The All Star games really aren't that major, in fact, for many people the All Star game just serves as a huge detractor from the regular season play and major competitions that are going on in July.
Oh well, so much for any new TV contracts announcement.
P.S. If MLS considers this major, what would they consider a real major announcement? I mean, you can only use that word so many times before it loses its meaning.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS MORNING BETWEEN 8AM AND 9AM
I want a commemorative t-shirt to prove that I was there when this momentous announcement was made. Said t-shirt will go straight into the vault to be taken out and lovingly gazed upon by my grandkids while I tell them the story of where I was when I found out the location, but not the opponent, of the 2011 MLS All-Star Game.
Not me
I’ve been in Bonerland since it was announced that DC United is in “serious discussions” to bring in Charlie Davies on loan. That’s the real major announcement.

That’s messed up. I would have been more interested if they were announcing that they were canceling the All-Star game.
New PR strategy
MLS is committing repeated fails in their PR strategy. Time to send out RFP’s for a new agency.
Portland's PR squad would probably tell the league to axe its current staff.
Just because this post may not contain a pun, I have not surrendered my pun-alienable rights.

You'd think being in NY they could find a decent PR agency.
Actually, they need an agency that understands sports fans and the peculiarities of the soccer fan.

They save major announcements for impromptu discussions with the commisioner at halftime of some game.
