Saw this over at a Raider board but thought it was worth sharing.

"During childbirth, a woman can almost experience the excruciating pain felt by a world cup soccer player when someone lightly touches his leg."

As long as Baseball, Football, and Basketball pay better the best athletes will gravitate towards those sports. Tennis and Golf pay very well if you are great at them as well.

I was thinking the same thing. England has literally never beaten us outside of the international friendlies. They would have to actually win a match that mattered before it was considered a “rivalry”

Soccer has 3 of the top 5 richest athletes. The other 2 are fighters. Followed by mostly basketball players. Basically anyone who can market themselves. If Pulisic can continue his rise and make a transfer to the Premier League he’ll likely become one of the richest American athletes. He’s already the face of US soccer at 19.
