I sympathize with Mike Groves. He's a noble man with a good idea. Teams 
should invest their time and resources in developing young players in their 
area, not on plane tickets for National team members - sometimes half way 
around the world!

If the sport enjoyed millions of tv viewers around the world, it might be a 
different story - but that's not the case.

Tom Crouch says "someone is always trying to level the playing field". 
What's wrong with that? What if Donald Trump or another millionaire decided 
to throw a ridiculous amount of money into a team and flew in the entire 
New Zealand Black Sox team in to play out of Manhattan? Is that the 
direction you want the ISC to go?

I don't want to criticize Bow, County, and the Farm. They have obviously 
done the right things to be successful but I doubt that the individuals 
hurt by an Out Of Area restriction would drop out of the game - they would 
surface somewhere, probably near their home town!
