Re: [nas] NASL II here we come.

I do understand the concern.  Just from what I see, I think that the slope isn't as slippery as it may appear and that instead it is a reasoned step to deal with specific needs.

Considering that we still need to expand our national footprint, at the very least Philadelphia, Seattle and something in the Southeast are necessary spots to go to.  From that angle, we're not big enough.  And as we currently have significant interest in ownership, better to strike the right deal with the right people in the right places now and then let the MLS Youth Initiative (among other things) continue to develop the player pool.

Also bear in mind that MLS has cut back on international spots before and I would imagine wouldn't be against doing so again if the US player pool is large enough to maintain the quality of play.

I can't say I like this at all.  I understand the reasons but I'd rather see the league expand at a slower rate than do this.
