    (and also hurting if one reads the article carefully)

    It's addition by subtraction for MLS
    League's stature grows around the world because players leave U.S. to play abroad

    The best line was this one, IMO (from Lamar Hunt): “MLS recognizes it has to walk before it can run.”

    I guess this means: expect more players to pursue opportunities abroad.....and MLS not to stand too much in the way
    At some point, hopefully, we'll be getting almost as many players returning from their European travels as departing
