I seriously do not believe the anti-American bias is all that strong, considering that it would make no sense for those clubs to purchase American players in the first place if they weren't going to play them. The more likely conclusion is much more difficult to discern, but it boils down to American players simply not being good enough for the European top level (as in the top 4 clubs in the top leagues). Which is fine in of itself. Dempsey was the only one who did it right, doing extremely well at a small club so that he couldn't be passed over. Bradley's level is what he was at Roma, a good back up midfielder.
I don't see how the bias somehow applies to this generation but doesn't apply to the previous generation of Americans abroad, when they did have to deal with more shite.
American players aren't good enough, or if they are, they don't show it when they get the opportunity.
