Insane professional sports salaries.......NOT just the NFL!

There is no fucking way that a volleyball player gets paid 500,000...anything, dollars, euros. Here anyway. This must be some European League where they don't even have football or baseball.
In a quick look a Turkish female player make 1.2M € and at today's exchange rate of 1.11 would be about $1,332,000.
So there you go basic Econ 101 and that supply and demand thing at work.
Now if you're a 6' 5" LHP in the USA and can accurately throw a 95 mph fastball you'd probably make about $25,000,000/year.
If your name is Arnold or Sylvester and can make things blow up you can make about $20,000,000 for about 3 months work making movies.
Economics and the suckers that make it work.

Arnold and Sylvester provide something of value.

Thanks for pointing it out Gip that salary = how popular the sport is. Just to piss you off, the three highest paid athletes in the world are all soccer players. Maybe one day the United States will catch up with the rest of the world.
Yeah, way back, Pele (the Jim Brown of soccer) was just a curiosity here.
Gay Prostitution makes a lot of money too Soccer players are still a curiosity here
1) Gay Prostitution makes a lot of money too 2) Soccer players are still a curiosity here
1) Collectively? Probably. Individually there isn't a prostitute in the world hauling down over $100 million.
2) Only in your aged mind Gipper. Some old fuddy duddies like you missed (and are missing) the boat... NBCSN is broadcasting plenty of the Premier League. Of course, you probably don't know what that is, and ESPN is starting to put MLS on. With the XFL starting up, I have a suggestion that would 100% guarantee the post Luck Colts (and any other NFL team) wouldn't tank. Do it the soccer way- the bottom two teams in the standings get shipped off to the XFL.
I've said it before- the anti soccer goofs have their collective heads up their asses to not realize what's inevitable here in the States. The big soccer wave is coming in- whether you like it or not- just get used to the idea. Probably more kids playing soccer now than football, and when they get old enough I wouldn't doubt watching soccer on TV is going to be their preferred sport. Soccer is the unquestioned #1 sport in the world, and that's not even debatable. The world wide viewership for the men's World Cup Final dwarfs TV ratings for the Super Bowl.
BTW- the ever increasing salaries in Major League baseball aren't sustainable. Ratings go down, TV revenue goes down right along with it.

Welcome to Money Diaries, where we're tackling what might be the last taboo facing modern working women: money. We're asking millennials how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we're tracking every last dollar.Today: A legal sex worker in Nevada, who recovered from an appendix surgery last year and has booked a $1 million this year.Occupation: Legal Sex Worker
Industry: Sex Work
Age: 20s
Location: Mound House, NV
Salary: It varies. I typically bring in mid-six figures. My first year, I booked $511,000, pocketing half of that as my income pre-expenses. The house takes 50% of whatever I book. My second year, I booked $712,000, and I’m on track to book $1.2 million for 2018 -

Can anyone besides you even name an American soccer player? I can think of one: Michael Landon or something. NBCSN is pushing soccer because it cannot get ahold of any decent sports programming, and it has to fill air time. (Like Sundays at eight AM)

Doesn't make it any less gay and boring just because eurofags like it.
And would bet that in any particular country...they do not get rating for the WC that the SB gets here. (except, maybe in those countries that are in it)

Your anti soccer bias is just plain ignorant. There's truckloads of soccer fans down the road in Columbus who would tell you the starting lineup of the Crew without looking it up. Interest in the Premier league is growing exponentially.
You consider soccer boring because frankly you don't want to understand it. Calling people who like the sport soccer fags pretty much nails your bias baseball fag. That's why American football is of little importance in say, China.
I tend to take a wider view of sport than your narrow parochial vision. LOL if it's not American, it doesn't matter.
-
Go to most any community park this time of year and see the parking lot filled with cars. Wonder why? That’s all the local kids there playing soccer. Call it what you like but it’s very popular anymore. I bet more American children play soccer now than little league baseball and youth football leagues combined.

It is not ignorant...it is just that I don't need to have it shoved down my throat. And that is exactly what is happening. Maybe I want to shove my lacrosse bias down your collective throats. Now, that is a real American sport....invented by Native Americans..and one of its best players ever was Jim Brown.

Columbus is a minor league market. They just wanted to have something to keep them amused, since they are not significant enough to have baseball football or basketball.
You consider soccer boring because frankly you don't want to understand it.
Actually, I understand it pretty well. Well enough to know where changes should be made to make it better.

I learned to call them soccer fags from Zombo. Take it up with him.
That's why American football is of little importance in say, China.
Soccer is not all that important in China. I mean, badminton and ping pong are more popular.
I tend to take a wider view of sport than your narrow parochial vision. LOL if it's not American, it doesn't matter.
Perhaps a bit. I mean, you want to shove foreign BS down our throats....why should we not object to that. I mean, what next...are you going to protest because McDonald's doesn't sell like snails and frog legs and haggis?

Soccer the world's most popular sport, why, it's cheap and easy and has been played in some form going back almost 2,000 years.
Fun to play, I did in high school as part of our off-season football workouts (more like full contact soccer).
It's just boring to watch. And this dead horse has been beat to death probably a million times in the USA.

It IS good cardiovascular. It IS simple to play....not nearly as much skill level involved. Hitting a round ball with a round bat is very hard and takes a lot of skill. And as someone said...it is cheap. You don't need the equipment that football, baseball, basketball etc. require. (although..when we were kids, we didn't play football much with any equipment. Just the ball and a field...didn't even need a goal post. But, it was violent. The way the pro soccer players play it, they can get hurt, as they are always banging heads. The way kids play it...no headers, no bicycle kicks etc. that can cause injury. Unless you are playing flag or tap football...it is meant to be a contact/collision game.

You nailed it ffd. I have no doubt in my mind when all these kids are in their 20s and 30s and the old anti-soccer crowd croaks, soccer will be challenging the NFL in popularity here. Said way back in the late 90s when soccer was taking off, we'd eventually have some homegrown stars who could compete at the highest level. Check. When those who played as kids started coaching the junior play would improve. Check. And Gipper is full of shit if he thinks there's no talent involved to play the sport. Check. You need virtually a marathon runners endurance and plenty of talent to play the sport at the highest level. Ask Chris Collinsworth about that when a Cincinnati club soccer team creamed a group of the Bengals on a bet.
Putting together a professional football, baseball even hockey and basketball team is very expensive in equipment and facilities NOT even counting the salaries.
Soccer can be played virtually anywhere.
Probably why soccer is gaining in popularity. Shoes, uniform, and a field. Ahem- pitch to be proper.
Having played hockey, it's probably the most expensive sport of all to get involved in. You're not only paying for ice time, equipment is crazy expensive if you're not buying junk. If I wanted to get back to playing goalie on a senior team, I'd be looking at at least $3,000 in equipment, probably more.

I never said there was no talent...I said it did not involve the same skill level...at its basic level. And oh...What was that bet on? Running distances? No shit Sherlock, that is what soccer is all about...and about all they do...run around all day. That would be like football players to challenge NBA players to a slam dunk contest. How about the soccer players challenge the football players to like King of the Hill or Smear the Queer. See who wins that.

We used to play hockey in the winter on the nearby swamp. Didn't need any of that. As long as the ice was frozen. We played in our boots, no skates. Used sticks we found off trees. Used a rock for a puck and just like an old chair or a bucket for the goal.

It was the Cinci slugs against the Bengals- real soccer match kiddo. Bengals even had their kicker Horst Muhlman who played soccer in Germany as their goalie. The Bengals quit when they were down 10-0. Their far superior athletic ability got trumped by superior talent. In case you're wondering I didn't make this up. I heard it from Collinsworth himself. Wah, wah. And every pro soccer player would gas 99% of NFL players and do a horizon job on them in a 10k race. You're so anti soccer- why not have soccer players get challenged to a 225 bench press contest with NFL linemen? More selective BS on your part, if you want to pick one facet of ability.
Yeah, I learned to play hockey the same way on a frozen pond- but we at least had skates, and real hockey sticks. Some of those guys couldn't skate too well. I'll tell you this- the level of skating now in HS hockey is in a different world than what it was in 1970. And playing organized hockey now entails a significant financial outlay. Just a pair of skates costs at least $150 bucks.

A kids soccer ball costs what? 10-12 bucks? A baseball costs about 6-7 bucks. A glove a lot more.
A kids football is about 20 bucks. I checked the prices from Dick's.

It was low amateur soccer doofus. The point being the Bengal players thought they were hot shit, and soccer players were a bunch of pansies. Just like you apparently do.
Just give it up already, you're fighting a losing battle, and the Millennials are going to win it. It's inevitable as the tide coming in. Baseball used to be "The National Pastime", now for the majority of sports fans it just "passes time" until football starts. The same could well happen to the NFL- a victim of it's own success.

Funny thing....im the last teacher in my high school with a comorehensive science degree...i am certified for all sciences. Every other teacher is life or earth science. We have teachers teaching classes they arent even certified for. I swear I should hold out for a bigger contract...they havent been able to find another certified physics or chem teacher for 2 years. I should hold out and see what the market offers lol.

They were still playing fucking soccer. And they were still playing a soccer team. Of course the Bengals would lose. If the Bengals challenged the Wittenberg basketball team to a basketball game they would get their hats handed to them.
They should have played baseball.

Really.....Average MLB attendance: 28,830 per game....for a game played every day. MLS...avg attendance...21,692. for a game played once per week.
And Lacrosse may eventually overtake them all. I have seen something that said they had a 73,000 some crowd for a lacrosse game in Denver. An outlier, certainly...but maybe a trend.

It was low amateur soccer doofus. The point being the Bengal players thought they were hot shit, and soccer players were a bunch of pansies. Just like you apparently do.
They were still playing fucking soccer. And they were still playing a soccer team. Of course the Bengals would lose. If the Bengals challenged the Wittenberg basketball team to a basketball game they would get their hats handed to them.
They should have played baseball.

As bad as Ghoolie- just have to get the last word in...

All you got to do is be around some children to see the future. Not the millennial generation. The youth. Soccer will be the next big thing here. Teens and preteens are flocking to it. It’s been growing and zero sign of it regressing here the past 50 years. And with Goodhell and his idea of the National Feline League, it’s not hard to see what the future of pro sports will be like here in 50 years.
