I had a Cow arguing with me this morning that the Supporters Shield is a MLS championship because it gives them access to champions league.
I reminded him that the #1 team in the other conference also gets into the CCL and asked him if that means they're a Champion, too. The discussion ended abruptly but not before he mentioned that the runner-up in the REAL championship game also used to get into CCL. Which made no sense as that further weakens his argument but hey, there's a reason he's still rooting for the energy drinks.
