To be fair, they’re currently paying a lot of money to NOT win.Originally Posted by stevep
MLS is NOT a league where the sole purpose is making money. MLS franchises, especially in big markets, are investments.
Why would a team spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a franchise, millions on players (the highest in the league over multiple years, by quite a substantial amount) when they could spend far less, terribly low TV ratings, and expect butts in seats for the cheapest professional sporting experience to pay for the entire thing and somehow turn a profit?
There’s a point where flushing money down the toilet would stop, but thinking that the goal of most MLS owners is just profit is silly. Why do you think Beckham did what he did?
