Excellent read on the question of getting Canadians to count as domestics in MLS

Garber is scum and only cares about US soccer. Nothing else to it.

^ Well he knows who butters his bread, that's for sure. I think his ambition is to make money. Focus is on American players because the USSF sticks their neck out. They have leverage to do so because the owners make money off S.U.M. Which they'd rather not risk. Canadians by comparison rely on the CSA and they've done an awful job pushing an agenda. They should be breaking their backs to see more Canadians on the field because they have so much to gain from it. Yet they've been soft, passive, and reclusive as usual.

Great article. If the USL can have Candians count as domestics then MLS can too, as the article stated no player would sue becauae the money is not anywhere near worthwhile.

The last point in the 3rd article is also moot. Candian teams will always have the advantage when getting a Canadian int, the other 16 teams wouldnt really be able to hold hostage as most Canadian players would prefer to play in Canada.
