I am aware of the difficulties experienced in some markets and it sucks. The Southern US experiment may end up failing but I think it's a stretch to use that as an example as to why expansion is bad altogether. I don't think it's as black and white as that.
Also you should probably look up the definition of a pyramid scheme, because your analogy makes absolutely no sense. Unless you can enlighten?
All I know is that I love the sport and the more people that can experience it the better.
