If it were totally open with it’s finances would you watch it?

It’s Unabomber.

The average capacity of a MLS stadium in 1996 was 73,591.

Adidas are investing $115 a year in MLS. That’s almost 5 times the amount of their last sponsorship deal. I’m pretty sure they would have done some homework before committing to such a huge investment.

The average English Championship club is $60 million in debt. MLS owners wouldn’t even notice $60 million. Paul Allen spent $200 million on a yacht.

How does that humble pie taste?

It costs $120 million just to get a share in MLS and on top of that you need $200-$300 million to build a stadium.

It’s not a rule. Players who are out of contract will obviously have their contracts renewed. I’m a Notts County fan. Back in the day before short-termism we had the same core group of players playing for us in 3 different divisions.

Jozy Altidore plays in Canada.

Relegation where 2. There is no viable second division. Once you have Division 2 level teams playing in front of 10-12,000 in proper stadiums without lacrosse markings on them, you can think about pro/rel.

But there’s no-one to come up. Cincy and Sac maybe but everyone else is playing on high school pitches or tiny out of town stadiums.

In your case that would be a waste of time.

I’m sure some clubs provide a lot of benefits to get around the salary cap. New York City FC and the Red Bulls have training facilities about 20 miles outside the city that make things a little easier.

Each team is allowed up to 2 designated players “Beckhams” who can earn any salary with only the first $480k-ish impacting the salary cap. In other words, Altidore’s $4,875,000 only eats up $480,000 of the salary cap. A team can acquire a third designated player for a fee of $250k which is then divided up among the…

Lactic acid is not toxic, nor does it cause fatigue. It is a fuel source. Other products such as hydrogen ions, the production of which increases as lactate levels increase, cause fatigue. Lactic acid plays a role in consuming these ions which is likely to delay fatigue (see The Science of Running by Steve Magness,…
