Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4617206, member: 199"] It will only start seriously hurting when the top stars stay overseas - like the palaver when DT sat out a season because her Euro team paid her to rest. Otherwise, it will likely open a few doors for draftees to stick on rosters, and it may turn into something better for the pros - forced time off from 12 month playing, whether they stay in foreign parts or stay home or alternate between the two. Not making light of the situation, but it is a league struggling with the bottom line numbers, so saying they should spend more isn't a real option at the moment. Expanding to more cities would be great, but you need to find the investors willing to bet a lot of money on a 50/50 proposition, or the sort of 'sugar daddy' investors that make the teams go in Europe.
