The problem is, we're still single-entity, MIJB.. the owners of the teams aren't really owners, they're owner/operators. The league shares profits/losses/etcetera

The so-called "Beckham exemption" (named for the guy it most gets associated with) would be each MLS team being allowed 1 or 2 players that would not count against our salary cap. The team has to pay the full amount tho, no expecting the league to do it.

Our next TV contract will pay $7.5 Million to the league for four years.

One nice thing is that there's going to be a new CONCACAF Champions Cup, featuring a lot of teams from US/Mexico, and that figures to do big business in gates.
