MLS Pulls Out of Open Cup

So MLS is pulling 1st team participation from the US Open Cup

Thanks, MLS, for devaluing one of the three trophies we've ever won. So now we have a trophy for a tournament we won't play in anymore (from the same year that we lost our 3rd straight MLS Cup), a trophy for a competition that no longer exists, and a Supports Shield in the same year we crapped out after a single playoff...
