    not that surprising when you know that football (soccer) is the most popular sport in the world by far

    Somebody admitted to not knowing something, and you have to turn it into nationalistic smack? I guess this is the only place where the people don't know everything. If you want to be treated with respect, a good place to start is by showing some.

    And, you know, it could be turned around. Since the North American basketball and baseball audience is so much smaller than futbol, the salaries are amazingly high.

    um, we are #83 in total payroll

    #12 in average salary which just means we are very well balanced?

    Mhhh... Yeah, I won't contest the fact that I'm probably a (and a French one on top of it). If I've hurt your feelings, sorry for that.

    However, my post was not directly for sa_butta. Plus, I don't see where I turn it into a nationalistic smack...

    For several reasons, a large part of the American people (not everyone though) tend not to look beyond their borders. The bigger your country is, the less you tend to be interested in what is going on outside. Same could be said about China.

    PS: tell me if I'm wrong but I've heard quite a few times US fans and journalists qualifying the NBA winners as World Champions.

    Hmm no, it means we divide by 13/15 players while other sports do it for around 30 or more.

    We have the 5th highest payroll in the league and yet we have the 2nd highest average salary?

    They messed something up...

    We're not "83rd in payroll" in the NBA, we're 5th.

    Less players in the squad than other teams is my guess.

    They are.

    Ridiculously high.

    In fact, they are high even compared to American futball.

    In football, at 8 M Euros, you get a more valuable player than Richard Jefferson.

    Don't give ammo to KBP he'll ride that line for a minimum of 5 threads.

    Kind of surprising that Real's payroll is higher when they have another "Galacticos" lineup.

    But then, who needs the Galacticos when you need to pay a load of money to Messi=GOD and Xaviniesta.

    did you see where Liverpool is at? Obviously that money is going to good use with the season they're having.
