Good on Wahl for "crying poor" question.
I don't know why people get so hung up on this. MLS is investing $100m more than their revenue on a yearly basis. Giving the stadiums, academies etc and that the league is in its infancy I expected it to be more. None of that is $ they will never get back - as franchise values are rising sharply - but the statement rings true.
The books are closed, and all their media/marketing revenue is separated under another company.
Basically, anything they say with regards to their finances is bullshit.
MLS and players union are in negotiations this year for a new contract, so of course they are losing money. Except they won't open their books to prove it of course.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
