@IDKPure@ProspectsUsmnt Yeah someone gets hurt either way and I don’t wish anything negative for the international kids. We loved hosting and meeting international players at Dallas Cup.
The age caps seem like a start. The rule will impact others too, like Australian punters and volleyball players.
@PernillaIce@ProspectsUsmnt Although there are questions about legal enforceability,
that’s true — after the current overage players who are grandfathered in age out.
The rule is brand new for 2026, and doesn’t apply to players already rostered last season.
@ProspectsUsmnt Agreed, I know too many 18 and 19 year olds fighting three or four foreign-born former pros at their positions. At 23+ you’re just not built like a 19 year old, physically or mentally.
(Also, more Americans should lift weights in HS - the stigma around lifting is misplaced)
