MLS vs Premier League

The Major League of Soccer (MLS) and the Premier League (PL) are the futbol soccer tournaments of USA and England respectively. My topic is if these tournaments represent the culture of their respective countries? First I will describe both tournaments; The  MLS was founded on December 16th, 1993, in compliance with Alan Rothenberg of USSF (United State Soccer Federation) to make a league of first division, a memorial change for FIFA World Cup 1994. In the case of the PL, it was founded in May 27th 1992 with the name of Football League. This tournament had problems where they could not pay to clubs and resulted in an economic crisis, then the FA (The Football Association) created) the Premier League.

Second I will compare both leagues. The MLS has 18 teams which are divided in 2 confederations, east and west. The season begins in March and ends in November; each team plays 34 games per season, and the 10 best team qualify to the post-season to decide the champion. The Premier has 20 teams, and each club plays twice with the rest, once in its stadium and once at their opponents playing a total of 38 games. The season begins in August and ends in May of the next year; the best qualified is the champion. As trascendental players of both tournaments we have for the MLS David Beckham, Thierry Henry, and Marco Pappa, and for the PL Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba, and Cesc Fabregas.

Regarding cultures, both leagues are ordered like the British and American cultures are. The schedules are strict, the public in stadiums do not get altered and destroy things. But one diference is that British are more extricts with rules; take for example the case of Wayne Rooney who used vulgar language in a game, and the Premier League gave him a punishment of 3 games where he could not play. The MLS isn´t extrict in this. Another diference is that for American sport the MLS is not that important, on the other hand the Premier League is a league with more public in England. In conclusion the Premier League represents more the British culture than the MLS represents the American culture because Soccer is more important in England than in the United States.
