Gulati: US will accept Copa America Invite

What does this do to the MLS season? Are we just going to sell out our domestic league for the glory of this Copa? In all seriousness, Gulati is proving to be incompotent and totally disrespectful of Major League Soccer. I am sure Garber will have something very negative to say about this.

"This is a strong statement that we, the league, are committed to do what we can in partnership with U.S. Soccer to move this sport forward," Garber said.
