[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think Nike pays $22M-$25M a year to the USSF because the men’s team does okay in the Gold Cup? The best known player on the men’s team plays in Europe and has a deal with Puma. Nike pays in order to sell stuff. The women get on TV in the Olympics and World Cup. The men struggle to qualify for the World Cup and cannot even play in the Olympics. (Olympics men’s soccer is u23s plus 2). The women sell stuff. Always have. The amount the women bring in is limited by the USSF’s deal with MLS/SUM which is not interested in maximizing revenue for the women’s side. They are interested in maximizing revenue for MLS/SUM. [/quote] Don’t forget the TV deal- do you think any network wants to air regular season MLS? They have to because it’s tied together with the national teams[/quote] Not sure what you mean. ESPN is the primary partner of MLS and doesn't air most of the men's teams games. [/quote]
