No we wouldn't because our youth system is dog shit. The French league doesn't pay as much as the other leagues, but France produces some of the best players around. England on the other hand pays the most out of all the leagues, but they haven't really produced many top top players, let alone anyone even approaching a Messi or Ronaldo level. Bumping the average MLS salary up another 500k isn't going to change that.Because France doesn't produce baseball or football players. They only recently started producing basketball players. The simple fact is millions of kids play soccer every year. As they get older, they transition to other sports. Now ask yourself why that is. I stand by my statement that if MLS paid what the NFL or MLB does for their players, we'd have thousands of kids vying to get drafted like we do in the NBA and NFL. --- lolAmerica |

A best player in the world isn't going to play in the MLS. Money isn't going to be a factor.Again, you're thinking about 1 player. If the MLS paid what the NBA does, we'd easily have the top soccer team in the world because all the athletes that transition to baseball, hockey, football, and basketball in high school would simply keep playing Soccer. It's simply quantity of top tier athletes. When you have too many to count, you dominate, like the US does in Basketball and would surely do in Football. --- lolAmerica |

Bruh... Messi is Argentinian and because who he is in Spain. You're looking at this wrong.I'm looking at this in the only correct light. American athletes, the finest in the world, literally choose the lucrative sports over soccer, because Soccer doesn't pay shit. As I showed the MLS league pays a fraction of what NBA, the NFL, and MLB pay, so that's where star soccer athletes gravitate to as they get older. It's honestly not that hard to grasp. I mean there's literally been extensive reports done on this very thing. --- lolAmerica |

You're using the top american football and basketball leagues in the world then using a joke football league.I'm using US sports. Because this is a topic about US athletes. Not Brazilian athletes, not English athletes. Not Argentinian athletes. And the simple fact is, there's no money in the US for soccer players, so great soccer players simply move on to other sports as they age. Just like there's no money in amateur wrestling, so wrestlers out of college transition to MMA instead. It's truly not that hard of a concept to understand. I'll also ask again, who the top paid American soccer players are. I asked before and got a list with LeBron James being the only American athlete on it. --- lolAmerica |

That's not the point. Messi is paid more than almost every athlete, and is in fact, an American Athlete being paid by Americans playing in America in American teams at the moment. The question is about whether or not the USMNT will ever get a player like him because if he went to go to the next WC, it would be for Argentina.You pointing out a single player isn't the point you think it is. Would you rather join a profession where hundreds of players are making tens if not hundreds of millions or one that only a select few make much money at all. As of May 2023, the average salary for a Major League Soccer (MLS) player was $530,262 As of April 2024, the average NBA player salary for the 2023/24 season was over $10 million, with a minimum salary of $1.12 million. As of February 2024, the average salary for an NFL player is around $2.8 million. There's your answer. If you'd like to debate about it more, bring some stats. --- lolAmerica |

Mushrooms are the most disgusting food on the planet; I would rather eat a bug than a mushroom.I dislike mushrooms, but I do want to try everything. So while the mushrooms on pizza suck ass and add nothing to the flavor, enoki mushrooms in a soup add a vast and deep flavor to it. I do want to try more mushrooms too. Just to see if I could taste a big enough difference. I also dislike honey, but I'd love to start trying different types, because maybe the ones I've tried are just shit tier. Same for syrups. --- lolAmerica |

Ranch dressing doesn't belong anywhere near a plate of hot wings. It just drowns the heat and defeats the purpose. Blue cheese dressing, however, is acceptable because the sharp and tangy taste compliments the spice, but even then it should just be used sparingly without fully dunking the damn wing in it before every bite.I personally like the flavor of BBQ and Ranch mixed. --- lolAmerica |

I watched the clip where he talked about it.

Aziz talked about what he was accused of and had an actual apology. I still don't get why he was caught up in that shit. He simply had a bad date.

If the boardwalk serves as an easement, chances are it has to be open for transversal. Now they can close it for business operations, but not if it is used to access the beach. Theres likely a clause in the deed to the land allowing this.Don't think it's for parking boats or access or anything, just a pier that's the shape of a cross. People probably fish off it or something, idk. https://www.nj.com/monmouth/2022/08/jersey-shore-pier-in-shape-of-cross-in-deeply-religious-town-raises-concerns.html There's a pic of it. --- lolAmerica |

Highest earning athletes in the worldWhat's it based on though? Nothing about this list seems factually correct about anything. Neymar is currently making 162m a year from the Saudis and LeBron has 450m career earnings in basketball. So it's not annual or total earned, but it's also not total contract since Trout (360m), Mahomes(500m), and Ohtani(700m) aren't on there. So I ask again, what is that list even supposed to mean? --- lolAmerica |
