Come on mistercorporate. Fair enough if you don't think teams should be subject to a cap. But the MLS cap is pure window dressing. When you have top teams paying 5x the salaries of the bottom teams, there is no parity.

The MLS DP rule is like saying "I'm going to demonstrate my financial prudence by living on a strict fixed budget each month, but I will make a one-time exception by going out to buy a brand new Maybach this summer."
