A couple of facts I found from my research:

* Of the 247 players that are currently on League III.4 rosters or have previously played the minimum of 1 game in League III.4, their are 115 USA-born players compared to 132 Foreign-born players.

* Foreign players in our league are being payed significantly higher than USA players, which is rather ironic considering that fans are supposed to dish out more for ticket sales and merchendise when they get a chance to see the players of their country. This tells me 1 of 2 things: USA players are playing below the standards or USA teams are generating far more revenue than that of teams on foreign soil and therefore have the means to pluck the rich talent from other countries.

* Rip City is the most diverse squad in all of League III.4 which includes the fact that not a single member on his team is USA-born. That does not mean he has never played a USA-born player on his team this season. Out of the 23 players he has has given a contract to, 3 of them were USA-born. Out of the 23 players that have been given any sort of money this season by Rip City, he has fielded 16 different countries.

I have heard of equal opportunity but that is taking it to an extreme degree. I think I can help you out with some advice Rip. Not a one of your players understands each other on the court. That could be the problem with your recent roller coaster season. lol

I have 2 foreign players.

I hope to be able to sell them after the draft and replace them with talent from the US.

6 of my 13 players are Americans. Americans are too expensive for scrimmages.

Well, if they don't fit what I am doing, I'll sell them.

For the sake of analysis, I sorted players with the biggest payroll in each position. here are the top 3 in each position:

TEAM PLAYER POSITION SALARY
magic Sean Ryan c 56792
gavno David Garnier c 53440
pistons Gregor Einheit c 48818

flyers Mariu Manni pf 57264
gavno Clay Chow pf 48684
pistons Nikos Vardinoyiannis pf 41158

pistons Oscar Buitrago sf 25690
hawks Alan Foote  sf 25206
magic Lino Gullo  sf 23498

illusion John Barr sg 44606
investors Gael Carmona sg 37140
hawks Vernon Salisbury sg 31126

steppers Jorge Alberto Mina pg 43136
magic Mitch Holloway pg 32244
hawks Jakob Bong  pg 22825

magic, hawks and pistons both have 3 players on the list. gavno is represented by 2, illusion, investors, steppers and flyers by 1 player each.

bumbul is no longer in this league and no longer the highest paid. richest kid of the league is mariu mannu of the flyers.

salaries are killing the teams this season so these guys better do something to deserve fat paychecks.
