Refer to my answer below. Haha, yeah i's probably being a little overblown in the description.
But, your coming at the discussion from a US markets perspective, (totally understandable as you have explained). I'm coming at the discussion from an Australian market perspective, (note, i'm not trying to claim you're not Aussie, i don't know, i'm only refering to the arguments perspective).
The US is a huge sports market, with a lot of cash. A small change in US sports market preferences can be perceived as a huge change from the Australian markets perspective.
For example, if 7 state teams were to start a competition in the US, well thats basically another australia, but its not even 1/5 of the US.
Its a horrendous example, but i'm thinking of it off the top of my head. It was either this example, or some tortured kayak and cruise liner analogy.
