A victory for common sense and order, as MLS continues to step away from Calvin Ball.
In a league that's known for making rules up as it goes, MLS HQ's rejection of New York City FC's homegrown claim to college star Jack Harrison shows the league moving away from arbitrary interpretation and towards consistency.
One decision is hardly consistent or precedent setting, but MLS' dismissal in this situation is one in a string of more stringent applications of the homegrown rules. Perhaps the league is finally sticking by the regulations they enacted after years of allowing teams to sidestep them on a case-by-case basis.
