Soccer is a money pit! More so than any sport that has ever been in America. Teams are supported by the world rather than by a single country or, in our case, states or even cities. In foreign countries, jerseys representing their favorite team are seen as commonplace more so than in the U.S. Every person owns at least one jersey. Often times multiple jerseys of the same player. One for each teams he plays on. This adds into the unbelievable money made by soccer teams. The winner of the world cup takes home $31 million which is no small amount. With tournament winnings, ticket sales, advertisements, and memorabilia, soccer clubs make more money than any teams do in the U.S. When it comes down to it, soccer is just an American sport on steroids.
