the citation. Although not necessary for DYK, please consider replacing the terms "homegrown player" and "academy product", which are more likely to be found in sports journalism than an encyclopedia. I am assuming good faith on three refs (they crash my browser when I load them). The hook is of suitable length, and all the pertinent facts cited over several refs. My concern for the hook is that not everyone is familiar with MLS; the hook makes clear it is sport-related, but doesn't identify which sport, or where. Mentioning the clubs competing in the final would resolve the second part. I've included ALT1 as a potential replacement, though you're welcome to substitute "soccer" in place of "association football" if you prefer (probably better for a North
American audience, and also creates a shorter hook).
