Right now? A salary system that is paid for by the league, not the team. Not sure if that has changed recently or not. So expansion fee's as well. MLS also holds the national team games (that ones that sell and people watch well) ransom so that they can turn the profits from those games towards MLS salaries. Sad state of the league if your main product isn't profitablle that you have to turn to National Team games and International 'friendlies' for additional revenue.
