In the UK, football (the real kind played with your feet) has no salary cap. I’ve long heard it said that the league would attract even more investment from across the pond if it imposed one so it’s interesting to hear that when push comes to shove US franchise owners are happy to circumvent the rules they are supposedly keen to have. Or is it that they just like to have their cake and eat it?

I guess there will always need to be some kind of rule to stop the teams with the most resources simply hovering up all that finite talent. Otherwise capitalism will do what capitalism always does and you’re left with a sport that lacks competition and by definition entertainment value.
