The Big Thing: Could competitive European matches really come to the USA?

Your favorite semi-recurring series is back: it's Take It or Leave It time! We've got plenty of your takes to break down, including...
1) Getting rid of VAR entirely would be absolute nonsense
2) One of the Big 5 European leagues will become a “closed league” before MLS implements any form of promotion and relegation.
3) MLS will eventually have pro/rel but only by forming a North American Super league that both MLS and LigaMX promote into
4) Firing a manager mid-season is the wrong call 90% of the time
5) Mckennie's next move should be to Borussia Dortmund
6) Arsene Wenger once said Arsenal is at a disadvantage over Manchester United because it has more derbys. How are we taking or leaving that one?
