MLS how ot improve

What changes would you make to the Major League Soccer in order to improve it?

I think there should have two divisions of 8 teams (by adding 3 extra teams one teams from FLorida and one from Seattle and one from San Francisco) play each other 4 times in each division giving 28 games per club per season with promtion and relagtion between the division of 2 teams.
This should be based on merit only nothing else i,e. the MLS should not be split west and east as it currently is.

This should allow the best players and teams to be in the top division and raise standrads for the top players just like the 2 division League system in County Cricket in England has in the sport of Cricket.

i think it shouldn't be so plastic and organised, and the governing body shouldn't be running it as an entertainment franchise compared to every other league in the world being based on the sport.

that would mean changing the whole industry of franchise sport in America which simply won't happen especially for such an unsupported sport in the USA like football.

though this is better for american football, travelling from New York to Seattle is extremely impractical. Worse than being AC Milan and playing away to Cagliari (In Sardinia)

that is why with a place as big as america u need east vs west division because otherwise you could be going from LA to New York for a game almost every week. Thats alot of flying.....
