Exactly
Which would make you ineligible to comment on the quality of the league since you've never seen any type of play within it |

| Not the Charleston Battery, my mistake, the Charlotte Eagles. And let's add the Richmond Kickers in there too. |

And these teams could beat NASL teams without MLS affiliates. Like Orlando City did to Sporting KC last year.

Charlotte went to the USL Pro Finals last year, they have former MLS players Jonathan Leathers (54 appearances for KC and VAN), Wells Thompson (168 appearances for New England, Chicago, and Colorado, 7 goals), Zak Boggs (29 appearances for NE, 3 goals), and Bilal Duckett.
Charlotte also almost knocked Real Salt Lake out of the US Open Cup (who went to the Final)
