The owners themselves put caps in place for THEIR business.



Lets say we're talking about a 3 team league.

Why can't owners of teams A and B just cap their wages at whatever they want for their teams rather than colluding to prevent owner of team C from paying what he wants? If Team C owner's priority is winning over profits shouldn't that be his right without Team A and B forcing him into an artificial wage cap?

And all that without getting into how unfair and un-American it is for the players. They are being colluded against to prevent Team owner C to pay him his true free market value. That is pretty much the definition of anti-free market and anti-american.

its not a 3 team league

the players can play in other leagues for the world market value if they wish

no league that small would have much value anyway

The free market is the world market. No one is saying that these guys HAVE to play for the MLS, they don't and many don't.

If Team C is left unchecked, then Team B and A would be forced to spend more, or never win thus putting them out of business.

Then Team C is left to jerk off with 20 of their imaginary 3-Team League Champion trophies.
