Following the recent discussions of pro/rel, the NASL issued a statement on Wednesday

The North American Soccer League released a statement on Wednesday regarding the recent public discussion of promotion/relegation:

We have clearly stated our belief in the concept of promotion/relegation, but we have also asserted that it is something that will take time. It's important to discuss the concept as part of the quickly changing soccer landscape in North America, and it's vital that we continue to contemplate what's best for the growth of our professional game. We have not, however, engaged in discussions with any other parties up to this point.
