i mean, what do you want Klinsmann to do?!?!?!

his JOB is to field the best USMNT that he can, and to have success in international competitions. if he feels like the best way to do his job is to encourage his players to get better in foreign leagues so that when it's time for the USMNT to perform he's getting the most out of his players then he's doing his job perfectly. his job is not to take to heart the desires of the domestic league.

on the flip side, Garber and the MLS have an interest in keeping "homegrown" talent around the states for as long as possible with the idea that by doing so they are putting the best product on the field that they can.

those ideals might be in direct competition with one another, but neither is wrong. what is wrong is the MLS blaming him for sabotaging the league - it's not his fucking job to save/grow the MLS. the MLS ain't caking Klinsy's pockets.
