Here's a thought on who this conflict affects the most: overseas top bodybuilders who either aspire to spend time in the US on green cards or illegally (or legally) to train at meccas here and compete in US pro shows and also top men who want to stay mainly in their own nations but compete at the top level in the US. USA competitors aren't affected at all; they are already fully under the NPC/IFBB umbrella. Conversely, international bodybuilders who don't aspire to live in US or compete in US shows aren't affected either; they will stay with their local promoters and local pro qualifiers and be happy to be Mr. Spain or Mr. Korea, etc. But what about the likes of Ramy, Ruhr, Yates, Wolf, Fux, Rockel, etc? More and more these days, these men are the top names in the sport, not guys from Tennessee or Nebraska, or New York. If this conflict persists, this may prove to be a HUGE pain in the neck for these competitors. These men could be punished along the way in their own localities for jumping ship, yet not really be fully desirous or legal to be 100% in US. Also, these guys may have built in loyalty to the promoters and sponsors who helped them along the way.
