MLS Salaries

Easy Mac · 01-12-2004, 02:14 PM

Take a look at the MLS players salaries... Some of these guys make peanuts. I know a couple of guys (Clint Dempsey and Riccardo Clark, 40K and 52K after reaching incentives), and they don't make too much for "professional"athletes. Granted, I'd take the money in a second after I get out of college, but for a proa athlete, its not that much money.

How much (if anything at all) does Donovan get from Leverkuesen(sp)?

rkmsuf · 01-12-2004, 02:19 PM

Hit the weights and learn to run a 15 yd out...that's your answer...

Neuqua · 01-12-2004, 02:19 PM

Me thinks Damani Ralph is in need of a raise.

cthomer5000 · 01-12-2004, 02:24 PM

I hope Bryan Foss isn't supporting a family...

MikeVic · 01-12-2004, 03:33 PM

You should see the CFL player salaries..

I forgot what the max was, but it was really small.. and the minimum was something like 15-20K a year... Canadian.
