Conflicting Forces Clash as VHL Continues to Expand

[Gustav 6,407]

The VHL has seen its share of growth in recent seasons, and that's absolutely an understatement. In this reporter's time in the league, there hasn't yet been a season without a VHL expansion, and the league shows little indication that the trend will slow. Expansion is a controversial topic, though--many are for it and many are against. We recently received the opportunity to sit down with those representing both sides of the issue, to gain deeper insight from both perspectives.

 

Yesterday's announcement that the league is to expand by another two teams managed to pique the interest of deceased Italian mathematician Fibonacci, whose name should sound familiar to anyone who's paid attention in math class (or to any of those I'm-smarter-than-you-type people who like to memorize complicated-sounding information to show off, all of whom I despise without exception). Here's what he had to say when asked about the matter, after rising from the grave in a Halifax demon-summoning ritual gone wrong:

 

Ah, yes, so prior to S65, the league was not expanding. Then, in that season, the league expanded by one team. In the season following, the league also expanded by one team. In the season following that, an expansion of two teams was observed. From the information available to us at this time, we can deduce that it is truly the Lord's will that the league expand by three teams next season, by five after that, then eight, then thirteen, then twenty-one, and so on. This is the league's time to rise.

 

Not all members of the VHL community agree with the only interesting non-leaning-tower part of Pisa, though--resident doctor @Renomitsu had this to say when asked about the state of the league:

 

After taking a look at the league's growth records, I've noticed a concerning trend, size-wise, if you will. The league has been steadily expanding for a while now, and has begun to expand more quickly most recently. If the league continues to follow its projected path, it will break right into "obese" status in no time. So, I'd say that the best option currently available is for the league to get up off the couch, cut back on the saturated fats, and start exercising, to keep that risk of heart disease down. Oh, and @Nykonax has lice, but we'll deal with that another time.

 

And, since I straight-up suck at closing statements, Halifax players, coaches, and management declined to comment when inquired. Now give me my theme week TPE.
