Talent is dwindling as evidenced by the inability of USA teams to dominate at the international level.

Cuban players in particular were highly sought as the result of their dominance in Olympic and international play.

I'll bet the Cubans tend to think their talent is getting better instead of the Americans' talent dwindling --- and they are probably more correct than you on that point.

If we are going to compete in a global economy (and we are) then we have to accept that challenge and quit complaining about not winning every time. If we believe that all men are created equal then it stands to reason that the country with the most men will have the most talented ball teams. Just because it is called America's game doesn't mean that Americans can play it better than anyone else.
Kinda like that boy from Plano, Texas winning all those tour de France bicycle races.
