Average Baseball players on that list are making more than any Soccer player. :D

And they still earn way too much. It's disgusting :-X If you think it's good that American players earn so much, well.... In the end the fans pay them

Yeah, but supposedly every country has a Soccer team & they all get paid.
So basically, there are tens of thousands of Soccer players & there are only like 2,000 professional American athletes within Baseball, Football & the NBA; that play at the highest level lol.
You deserve the money if you can do something so very few can do.

It's not that so few can do it because it is so hard, it's that there is simply NO MARKET for it.

Na, you Europeans just don't have the hand/eye coordination to hit a Baseball. ;)

We sure as hell have the hand/eye coordination to take the remote and flip the channel really quickly as soon as we see a baseball game.

Your joking right? Okay the interest in football is low in America but you have allot of devoted fans that even traveled to South Africa to see their team play. And as far as i know, there are no professional American football leagues in Europe.

So what there aren't any pro football leagues in europe? Im talking about the fact that support for football compared to support for soccer will NEVER be anywhere close to even, and this is why pitting soccer vs football is pretty much subjective (you guys dont get football like we do just like we dont get soccer like you do).
Also, just because a small group of people travelled to see the world cup (which we view as the only important soccer tourney or match at all lol) doesn't mean that theres a bunch of soccer fans here. Half of that support (at least) is on some nationalistic type of shit, aka we will support a national hot dog eating team if it means we can travel/drink/spectate/cheer for it.
I dont know if I missed what you were getting at but there you go.
