LA Galaxy signs 10yr, 55 mil TV deal with Time Warner
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
"Warner"
Hmm, the fix is in.
I read the first 6 words and thought "Holy shit, they signed Frank Lampard at 5.5 mil a year for 10 years."
whiskey at it's finest
FYI, ARTICLE IS HORRIBLY MISLEADING
Likely most years won't be equal in value, but it doesn't take a genius to realize that on an average basis, the MLS deal dwarfs the LA deal. Whoever did the analysis didn't understand that 55 million dollars would be broken down over 10 years...average of 5.5 million a year (assuming balanced load) vs 30 million over 3, average of 10 million a year.The 10-year deal is valued at $55 million for an undetermined number of the games. The Galaxy said it will lose money this season despite advancing to Sunday’s Major League Soccer championship game with the league’s best record.
The value of the regional contract dwarfs the three-year, $30-million contract between MLS and NBC.
