Why hasn't a black kid from the US taken over soccer yet?

And Ronaldo/Messi aren't the only ones making money in soccer.

The AVERAGE salary for the top 5 leagues in Europe is like $2m USD. It's on par with American sports and our population dwarfs the countries I'm referring to.

Do some research before you throw shade.
I didn't throw shade. Next time, learn how to read before you waste my time. I said NBA players make more than soccer players. This is not up for debate. I even said in my very next post that the advantage is that there are more places to make money in soccer. No one said other players are broke. So the questions you have to ask yourself is (a) why the schooling system failed you and (b) how are you going to compensate me for wasting my time.

$2mil? That's close to the minimum pay in the NBA. Over 90 percent of players make more than that:mjlol:

USA scouts also have no eye for talent. I'm pretty sure somewhere down the road a young prodigy got passed on after Freddy Adu's short ass failure. Most US scout are probably looking for tall big players in their talent pool and overlooking the short little dude who has the complete skill set.

My opinion though :manny:

You're a professional moderator on a message board. Your time obviously isn't that valuable.

I think it's YOU that needs to evaluate your education. I gave you facts. Use simple logic and put 2 and 2 together.

If the US has 6x the population of England, and our biggest sport (football) is equivalent to the average salary of theirs (futbol) with fewer teams. Then, yes, soccer players have BEEN eating. Like I was saying...

American Football and Baseball make so much money thanks to the 999174912423954 hours of commercials every game... But Baseball is dying, and American Football will die soon when Americans realize it's as boring as Baseball.

Except there's a lot more football players in those top 5 leagues(20 teams with 11 starters not even including the bench). Making it and staying in the NBA is a lot tougher than finding a job as a soccer player.

NFL will never die. Too much money is made off of gambling on it.
