[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as athletes can make more professionally playing football and basketball than soccer, it will always be this way in the US.[/quote]

Last time I checked, there are many professional soccer players earning a lot of money [/quote]

Not in a US league and not US born players.[/quote]

Words have meaning

So who are these American born American Players in the Premiere League and other First Division leagues in Europe?[/quote]

Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie, Adams just to name a few. Far, far more. [/quote]

Pulisic, our best soccer player right now in the prime of his sports playing career makes $9M a year...let that sink in compared to other sport salaries. Anthony Edwards makes $40M a year in a league with a salary cap - that's almost as much as Pulisic's entire current contract and Anthony Edwards probably isn't even the best player in the NBA.  Same for the NFL where the best players (not the #1 best in the nation) make $30M/$40M a year w/a salary cap.  Baseball and soccer are probably the two most comporable and $9M in baseball is peanuts and guys riding the bench are making that amount - again the best baseball players are making far more.[/quote]

Someone said US players aren't playing in big professional leagues 
Someone named several

The comeback is...... salary??![/quote]
