msilverstein47 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 soooo let me get this straight... A fledgling "professional" league run by Matt Driver will try to get sanctioning from an organization used for the amateur leagues, and will ignore the internationally recognized USSF, which could possibly make it a rogue league. This might make its players ineligible for international duty, which will hamper its ability to attract players. They will partner with the CSL, which has lost its sanctioning due to the recent match fixing scandal, which will in turn rub some of its stink onto APS. CSL has also latched onto a rogue sanctioning body, which will probably hamper its ability to get good players. Not to mention the CSL's ethnic teams, which tastelessly refight the Serbia-Croatia conflict twice a season. Does APS really want to be associated with the CSL? The CSL runs its season from April to October. The APS will run its season August through June. Somehow these two leagues will have a championship series. Color me skeptical that this will turn out well for either league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously don't know a lot about the character and I do wonder if he's just someone that is perfect to put himself alongside the CSL brass.
