Re: [nas] Forbes: MLS team valuations

You think MLS helped with this story so they are able to tell the Players Union: "Look, we'd love to give all of you guys a raise, but MLS is still losing $20 Million a year..."

Hard to argue salary cap with the league still in the red to the tune of $20 Million a year....

Numbers are in millions. I laid this out myself since you have to scroll through pictures to get all the numbers in order. Article link is here:

Now that Forbes is keeping up with our dear little league, it will be interesting to see how the numbers track from year to year as more stadiums come on line – or if the Crew can find some way to dig itself out of their hole.
