I don't think some attempts to "level the playing field" is belittling or bad.
Let's be honest, the true powerhouse teams will always be powerhouses. I mean, always, like 1114, I guess.
In the NFL, for drafts, the worst teams usually go first in the draft picking order, in order to give them a little handicap – so even sports, this happens.

I am fine with Dean talking about "leveling" the plane field. Some teams may not appreciate that there's a "handicap" for them, but then again, it's just for the best intentions, and I think that it's perfectly fine.
I mean, say that there was no consideration of any "leveling of the playing field" and the newer or less resourced teams looked up to the powerhouse teams and took inspiration from them. Why should that cease when there's a "leveling of the playing field"? I think it's great that we can both be considerate of new teams with tiny budgets while keeping the game simple and enjoyable.
We have to keep in mind all the new rookie teams that completely dominate the older teams!!!
