    - As a fan of the show more than the sport can you or someone else explain the reasoning behind the spending limit during the season? -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 3, 07:24 3
      - Thats the gist of it. But not all teams have unlimited funding, so money can create disadvantage which they're trying to prevent. -- nm - budice Sep 3, 07:26 2
