The Major Soccer League, originally called the Major Indoor Soccer League, was an indoor soccer league in the USA from 1978 to 1992. After the folding of the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 1984, the MISL was the Division I soccer league for the United States. The MISL changed its name to Major Soccer League in 1990. After the league folded in 1992, the Cleveland and Wichita teams joined the National Professional Soccer League. Two other teams (Dallas and San Diego) helped found the Continental Indoor Soccer League. For two weeks in 1986, players faced a lock out as part of a labor dispute. The MISL was one of the few "non-major" (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) leagues to actually have a video game of its sport created. "MISL Soccer" came out in 1988 for the Commodore 64. (via Wikipedia)
