I think he meant American leagues are built to stifle competition, which is correct. Not just the salary cap.
It makes no sense in the context of this thread. If you are a team in an American league you have a legitimate chance of winning. The Knicks have sucked for almost 20 years despite being a big market team for example. The same cannot be said for any football league in Europe.
As far as compensation goes, what players are being underpaid in America? The only thing the salary cap prevents is a lot of talent getting paid on the same team. The maximum individual salary is negotiated by the players and owners, and is accepted by all parties as the maximum value a player is worth.
