Kek, you can't possibly believe that right? Denver's O-line was injury riddled and terrible. They're arguably the worst super bowl winning o-line ever. The elite defense is what really carried Peyton and the majority of them will be back next year. I'm pretty sure any anon from /sp/ could be their QB and they'd still at least win the AFC west.

Youre given like 7 claims you can claim any player that hasnt been claimed, i imagine the rule is in place to ensure parity and make it a bit harder for 1 team to sign a bunch of players, MLS has a shit ton of checks and balances to make sure that teams are always getting and using meme money

>>67548456
What if you just want to loan a player, do you have to deal with discovery rights then?

Also, is there a list of who owns what claims? I want see who has the rights for Donaldo, Messi, Vardy, etc.

Is more about keeping a player's wages down, if only 1 team can sign you, you don't have much leverage to demand higher wages.

High profile players would demand higher salaries if several teams were battling to sign them, pretty smart if you think about it.

I thought we had this conversation last night.
>>
>>67548492
Ideally you're not supposed to put discovery claims on real players like Zlatan, Messie and Ronaldo. The discovery list is basically a mechanism that lets a team that "discovers" a player abroad negotiate exclusively with that player. What ends up happening quite often is some of the smaller teams that know they're not going to be doing a lot of international scouting will add big players to their list as a way of extracting some cash from bigger teams.
A recent example is with Letget, who wasn't a big player, but once word got out that LA might sign him the Revs put a discovery claim on him. When LA finally did sign Letget, they had to pay Revs something like 50K for their discovery claim.

When used right its a pretty benign way to keep teams from fighting each other over a player, but too often its just used by pleb teams that want to get some cash from teams that actually try.
>>
>>67550652
The best example is Drogba. Who signed for Chicongo
>>
>>67550652
>>67550665
There was also the fight over Nocerino in the off season. DC had the Discovery claim, and should've been the only MLS team to negotiate with him, but Adrian Heath and Orlando gave zero fucks and went to Nocerino on their own. DC got butthurt when the guy came back demanding more money, and eventually had to give up and sell their discovery claim to OCSC.

>>67550267
>if only 1 team can sign you, you don't have much leverage to demand higher wages.

But other meme league teams (CSL, Süper Lig, Ayy-League, etc.) can sign the player, so what's the point?
>>
>>67551595
>Why keep it?
They have been slowly weakening it, but its not going to go away as long as there are more owners that like abusing it than not.
>>
>>67551595
>Why keep it?
why WOULDN'T they keep it? everyone knows the big players are inevitably bound for teams like LA, might as well squeeze a few more Garberbux out of them in the process

That sounds fine in theory, but the last time they declared independence and kicked all the black people out (which they would have to do if they want to abolish basketball), the nation went bankrupt in nine years and had to join the U.S.

There is precedent.

2bongs and 13bings for it.

coffee will get cold by then
>>
>>67554810
Allocation and discovery has made it almost impossible. A good thing when your league has a hard salary cap.
But there were times where fucketry was attempted and the came down. Like the Red Bulls putting a claim on David Villa.
They wanted NYCFC to respect it and wouldn't let them talk to him until the league told them they had 3 days to sign him or their discovery claim would be thrown out.
>>
>>67554810
>but how common is MLS teams out-bidding each other?
Well very uncommon mostly because of things like discovery list.

>just make it so only one MLS team can make an offer to a player at a time
Yeah, that's what the discovery list is. A list of players only you can talk to. The only problem is there's some potential for abuse.

There was no US soccer culture in 1994 and the stadiums were shit. RFK? Really?

I'm glad threads on /sp/ actually stick now, and not just shouted down like a WNBA thread, but Aztec Stadium in Mexico City seats 95,500.

The LA Galaxy play at StubHub, which seats 27,000. The largest NFL stadium currently in use is MetLife in NJ, this seats 82,500.

So yes, there are your reasons.

That's because ensuing WC's were based on bribes and not popularity. You really think anyone's gonna pack Qatar's stadiums when it's 122 degrees in the shade?
>>
>>67555842
If the WC is played in the US, the games won't be played at the shitty MLS stadiums dumbass. In the US' proposal they specified the the 20 stadiums they would use, all of which hold more than 65,000.

I guarantee you they'd have no problem selling out those games.
