it's a problem. It's a potential bit of small scale corruption and it's absolutely questionable when we have more examples of Americans going abroad and floundering than we do Americans going abroad and blossoming. Matter of fact, the most consistent USMNT talent pipeline of late has been ........ MLS.

So setting the league's money aside, this is still questionable by Klinsmann. Add in the high cost, long-sighted investments MLS is making in youth right now, and it's concerning.
