I just don't think the TV contract nor the ratings will justify spending lots of money, for maybe another six years. I think the league is at least 10 years away from paying salaries on par with even the Scandinavian countries.
Agree with everything except the Scandinavian comment. I think we're close to being at their level already. They're not paying guys all that well if Swedish guys are running to piece of shite towns in the middle of Turkey for $300,000-$500,000 contracts that aren't even guaranteed.
And the point about Liga MX made earlier was also valid.

Maybe you are right with Scadanvia. I couldn't find the average salary of a Swedish footballer, but the non-DP average salary in MLS was around $100,000, which was very surprising.
I suppose we should be worried if MLS teams spend big money to bring players under 30 here, which we haven't really seen. The league has done an excellent job of building the league to this point, but I'd like for the league to continue to grow at a slow and steady rate.
