Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Major League Soccer that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I provided my source so please don't call it nonsense. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Great, you finally responded. First, let's see the definition of "at the latest" : http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/at+the+latest "at the latest not beyond the time mentioned." In the article(David Beckham's Miami partner Marcelo Claure says team hopes to begin play in 2017) at MLS official site, i.e. mlssoccer.com, it cited: "“Three years, three years, 2017,” said Claure of when he hopes the club will begin playing. "That’s the idea if it all works out like we hope."" Did you see that? "if it all works out like we hope" huh? Do you need further explanation, Genius?
You don't have to use four-letter words in your revert rationale... but there IS a reason why the number of teams in the league is important in the context of the list.
Sure, the number of teams doesn't have an immediate effect on league revenue, but...
- The season for which league revenue is provided usually isn't the most recently completed season. For example, the numbers for the Danish Superliga reflect the 12-team setup it had in 2014–15... but that league expanded to 14 starting in 2016–17. In turn, that affects the revenue per team, which is a column in the table.
- Also, confirmed future expansion often means that a league will get a noticeable bump in revenue going forward.
Just wanted you to see that there can be a rationale for an edit that might not make immediate sense to everyone. — Dale Arnett (talk) 01:04, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
