If someone writes off enough on their taxes that they get money back - isn't that turning a profit? Or even writing off FC expenses to reduce their tax load from somewhere else is kind of turning a profit on the club?

I do hope it works for him - but I kinda feel that if the lack of playing time he got at Pacific last year weren't the tipping point then this is the one that puts him in the lifetime backup keeper position.

You are assuming that success=position in table. I think probably that for many of the owners position in table really only matters as a stepping stone to increasing profit.

I think you actually realize that when sports books make the lines the goal is not to accurately predict the future, it is to guide betting patterns in order to maximize profit and minimize risk. So - just to be clear you are using a different metric for success than those experts use.

I understand your league ownership point - but CPL is Canadian by convenience, if that group of owners thought going American would line their pockets it would happen in a flash.

It's not just LAFC and VWFC, nor is it just Western Conference teams - in the social media posts about this between the weekend and today New England has been pointed out specifically as an org that has issues with him.

Check the pick #20 set on Badwal. Badwal wasn't going to get to the ball, but he would have been closer without the hands on his chest. Its a play you applaud if your team does it but it does contribute to how open Carrasquilla was.

Attendance figures in MLS have always been seats sold, not bodies at the game. MLS (and most if not all other leagues) care about revenue and seats sold is the best indicator of that.

Whitecaps - Bovalina was listed as a Special Discovery Player last year and is not listed that way in yesterday's release. Also last year a SDP needed to be on the senior roster, this year Bovalina is on the supplemental roster, so the rules may have changed.
