So in the past, basically, antitrust laws and things that people felt like a draft were in violation of, were able to be saved around the idea that each individual part of a professional league is really just one company, sort of. And in the NWSL, that argument really wouldn't have worked because it didn't help the health of the league to have a draft when the rest of global football didn't.

So it benefits the health of the NWSL to operate in the same system as FIFA football and global football. The NFL would have different rules, the NBA would have different rules. So yes, it's very interesting to think about for player rights purposes, how you might replace the draft and do something else.

But also, it would be harder to get rid of it in the professional men's leagues in the US because of the fact that they aren't really operating in a global system the same way the NWSL wants to.

No, this is a very essentially American thing. In Global Football. Mit, sagen wir mal, Naomi Gurma und Transfer-Fehren. Naomi Gurma geht nach Chelsea, weil sie da gehen wollte und sie wollte sie. Sie war unter Kontrakt mit der San Diego-Wave des NWSL bis zum Ende des Jahres 2026.

Also müssen San Diego und Chelsea zuerst auf eine Transfer-Fehre verabschieden, was die Anzahl an Geld ist, die Chelsea San Diego bezahlen wird, um die Rechte von Naomi Gurma zu haben. Das sind über eine Million Dollar. Und dann müssen sie Naomi Gurma auch da gehen und dort signen. Even if they agreed on the trade and the transfer fee, she would not have to go there unless she agreed to it.

So at every turn there is both a negotiation between clubs on a transfer fee and a negotiation between player and club. An interesting element that is potentially going to come up and is already being discussed in MLS is should a player get a percentage of that transfer fee? Because ultimately it's their value that's dictating how much is being paid and why. Ja, genau.

Would I have a lot of thoughts about how much better it would be to be able to pick where I got to go instead of getting sent to fill in the blank where allegedly parody is what's driving things. But you know that it's a bad team that's poorly run with bad facilities, bad owners, everything else. And you have no choice. You're stuck there.
