All it will do is destroy the league. Not that it's anything now, but take a player like Stewart Holden. He's leaving in the next transfer window because his contract is up. Dallas certainly can't afford to pay him what he's going to get in Europe. They were only able to hold onto him as long as they did because of the "ridiculous" contracts.
The leagues still building. New rules just make it easier for foreign clubs to poach anyone who looks decent, pay them more than MLS can afford and have them play in the reserves.
Feel free to explain how that's good for MLS, because I'm not seeing it.
