In the right world, the actors who played Languichatte, Azibe, Papa Pie, Frederic, and so on would be millionnaires and soccer players like Charles Alerte Jr. and Golman Pierre would be playing in Europe. Haitian football needs exposure, the games needs to be televised (after the Blackout problem is solved) to encourage sponsorship. Let's not forget one important Economics rule: "People respond to incentives.".

The performance of the team will determine their exposure and the price tag of the logos on their jerseys. It's a simple formula, the clubs will want to buy the best players to win, and offer them what they are worth. The players will train harder to get better, and earn more money. If one network makes a deal with the Haitian Federation to be the only ones broadcasting live, they would proffit as well. Investors would build new stadiums to be able to sell advertising space as well as the money from the thousands in attendance, that the 480 games of the Championnat National provide.

At the end we would have a strong league in a nation who loves football. Haitians players have the talent, I've witnessed a three year old run across a soccer field with a soccer ball as big as him, on a straight lline, with full control. Haitian football does not need a hand out, the first step to success has been satirized by the Haitian musical group Mizik Mizik : "Banm fe nwa mwen, banm blackout mwen souple" (please give me blackout).
