I would demand that teams can only hire players from their geographic region.
Of course this wouldn't practically work, but it makes the most sense. When I root for my G-men I am rooting for my home team, and as such I would like the players to be from my area as well. It would create a much greater fanbase because as a fan I would feel connected to the players on a more personal basis. Also, fans are only allowed to root for their home team. No Jerseyites rooting for Dallas. Blech.
Just my ideal world.

That's what she said.
