League of equality
Key feature of the American championship is that all clubs have a uniform owner — league. Respectively, and the income is distributed between clubs equal pieces that nobody felt the deprived. In this situation there is no risk of emergence at clubs of financial problems that could entail their subsequent capitulation from the football card North America. The similar system not successfully works the first year in all leading sports leagues of the continent and makes stable profit for all involved in process. Certainly, each team has sponsors and investors, but in this case they are shareholders not teams, and MS. The minimum sum of the agreement should not be less than half a million dollars a year from which clubs are obliged to transfer 200 thousand to league. Now similar agreements for the sum from one to four million dollars a year have the majority of teams.
the Check-book
One more obligatory point of all professional North American leagues concerns salaries players. The football players acting in MS, sign the contracts not with clubs, as around the world, and directly with league which is responsible for distribution of salaries earned by means of "ceiling". Each team of league before start of a season has the budget with a certain sum which salaries all players of club have to keep within. This year this sum is equal to 3,845 million dollars.
the Minimum annual salary is equal in MS to 53 thousand dollars. Average salary in MS in 2017 makes a little more than 325 thousand dollars (326 129,23). It is less, than in Dutch Eredivizi, English Chempionship and the championship Mexico (in each of these leagues average salary exceeds a mark in 400 thousand dollars).
of Separate admiration is worthy absolute transparency of salaries players in MS. Everyone can learn the annual income of any player of league on a special site (mlsplayers.org). Conditional Fayzulin Victor, having looked at salaries in the American league, can earn to the numerous damages also irreparable spiritual wounds.
However, in all this history is one exception.
Receive as Beckham David
At the scheme of payments existing in MS participation of such highly paid stars as Kaká, Drogba, Gerrard, Lampard, Vilya, in league would be impossible if not Beckham David. In 2007 the board of league accepted so-called Designated Player Rule (in common people — "Beckham's rule"), allowing each club to bring from under a ceiling of salaries three football players. Two players by this rule can be brought in the demand free of charge, introduction of the third will manage in 150 thousand dollars which are equally distributed then between the clubs which have left the third line of the demand empty.
the Guaranteed annual salary the Englishman in MS (without various bonuses and sponsor's payments) made 6,5 million dollars. This year only 28 football players in MS earn in a year from 1 million dollars and more. The three of the most highly paid players of league in the 2017th made Kaká (7,17 million dollars), Dzhovinko Sebastian (7,12) and Bradley Michael (6,5 million).
Attendance
this year average attendance of matches of the MS regular championship made 22 106 viewers. Almost same indicator was shown by the Italian Series A in a season-2016/17 (22 164 viewers). To France in last season championship matches were visited on the average by 21 029 fans. The gain of the audience in MS is observed the fourth year in a row: in the 2016th indicator equaled 21 692, in the 2015th — 21 574, and in the 2014th — to 19 148 viewers. Ten years ago on games of the American championship 15 504 persons went on the average. That is the gain made more than 40 percent. By the way, arenas of only eight clubs from 22 contain more than 25 thousand audience. The worst attendance in league — at "Dallas" (15 122 viewers), and the best — at the beginner and season team opening "Atlanta Yunayted".
Team from the southeast of United States of America managed to sell 21 thousand subscriptions when at it yet was not neither a logo, nor the head coach, the full demand. "Atlanta" initially counted on attendance around 40 thousand. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium stadium (cost of 1,6 billion dollars) had to contain 71 thousand people on the American soccer, and on soccer — no more than 40 thousand. As a result average attendance of matches of club in the regular championship made 48 200 viewers. September game against "Orlando City" from tribunes of stadium was watched by 70 425 people that became a new record of MS on attendance. A month later this achievement fell also: 71 874 fans came to a match against "Toronto". The previous record (69 255 viewers) was established in 1996 on a match "Los Angeles Gelaksi" — "New York to the Subway Stars" which took place at Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena.
"Atlanta" also became the first MS team which house matches during the season were visited by more than 800 thousand fans. And the general attendance of matches of the regular championship this year exceeded a mark of 8 million people (8 267 534).
TV-contracts
B 2015 the league signed the eight-year contract with such large TV companies, as Fox Sports, sport TV channel "ESPN" and Spanish-speaking Univision, on translation of matches in the territory of United States of America. The sum of the agreement makes 90 million dollars during the season. For comparison, the previous agreement with sport TV channel "ESPN", Univision and NBC Sports was calculated on 18 million a year. Besides, at MS the four-year contract from Television broadcasting company Sky Sports affects translation of matches to United Kingdom and Ireland, and also contract with Eurosport.
this year, according to Sports Business Daily messages, the management of MS rejected the holding offer MP of %26 Silva on sale of the telerights for display of matches of league for 10 years for 4 billion dollars. The similar agreement would allow Americans to earn four times more, than they have now. The present contract leagues with sport TV channel "ESPN", Fox and Univision expires in 2023, and according to the offer of companies the transaction would come into force after its termination. The management of MS refused, wishing to keep league of the closed. MP of %26 Silva insisted on departure input from the highest division. It is connected with that one of founders of MP of %26 Silva — Silva Ricardo are the co-owner of FC "Miami" from NASL — the football league second for force to United States of America. Similar shifts would allow "Miami" to count on an exit in elite.
But heads of MS signed the new six-year contract with the German outfitters from adidas. Before MS annually earned 25 million dollars from cooperation with Germans, and now this sum increased almost five times — to 117 million dollars.
Young everywhere at us is expensive to
One more feature of MS — each club is obliged to have own junior football academy, and also to possess its concrete plan of developments. Youthful teams compete among themselves in League of developments which is kept by Federation of soccer of United States of America. For example, the son Donald Trump — 11-year-old Baron Donald Trump supports children's team (U-12) of Dee Xi Yunayted club from Washington D.C.. In total in the country about 12 thousand football sections in which nearly half a million children of school age is engaged function. For work with youth each club can take away to itself from academy of two players to the MS superdraft where clubs choose to themselves young talents.
the draft is annually carried out in January, and on it the MS teams choose the players who have proved in college, young foreign football players or graduates of academy. The project is broken into four rounds where each club has the choice which order is defined by positions of teams in the past season: taken the last place, chooses as the first.
Besides, teams where promising American football players receive a place in structure, are financially supported by league, and them salaries are excluded from the fixed budgets. The name of this program — Generation adidas — thanks to cooperation of the German companies with MS. Altidor Dzhozi, Howard Tim, Guzan Brad, Dempsi Klint, Bradley Michael and others became graduates of the program Donovan Lendon.
of Bread and shows
Not a secret that to United States of America considerably loses soccer to the American soccer, baseball, basketball and hockey. And to attract fans on tribunes, heads of clubs should stake on advertizing. The main income is brought in by partner agreements and sales of tickets therefore for drawing attention of the audience there is nothing more effectively than a competent PR course. So, successful attendance "Atlanta Yunayted" can be explained … with minimum prices of food. Hot dog at the price from two dollars, chicken wings for six dollars — and the potential viewer himself will run to you on a visit. However, it is not excluded that it is necessary to pay for the ticket for a match slightly more expensively, than at other stadium.
Other popular and available way for advertizing — star players of league. In contracts all eminent football players who are getting over across the ocean, there is point on which they undertake to visit any actions for advance of a brand of MS. Any negotiations with sponsors and the conclusions of contracts do not do without their presence.
Besides, the league quite often distributes star football players by the locational principle. For example, from Miami a large number of Brazilians began to go to Orlando. To all fault — a transfer of their compatriot Kaká in Orlando City club. The debut house match of club in MS was visited by more than 60 thousand fans.
the Future replenishment was excluded 2014 by
B from MS Chivas club from Los Angeles. The team played a role of farm-club of Mexican "Guadalajara" and was guided by hispanic part of the city. Similar strategy came to the end with a failure. The team did not bring money in the general cash desk, attendance was the worst in league, and local TV refused to broadcast "Chivas's" matches. The similar situation did not suit representatives of other MS clubs, not wishing to do charity work and annually to provide the club which is not bringing in the income. Within the next three years in league four beginners debuted at once, and by 2020 the total of teams is planned to increase to 28. Next year in MS debuts club from Los Angeles with the name of the same name. Investors club is the group of 26 businessmen and celebrities, among which — a NBA legend Magic Johnson and the actor Ferrell Will.
Approximately for 2021 is planned emergence of football club from Miami, whose main owner there is Beckham David. In June of the 2017th power of Miami-Deyd approved transfer of the land plot worth 9 million dollars to consortium Beckham David for stadium construction on 25 thousand audience. Also the Englishman intended to invite in the club Cristiano Ronaldo, but after extension of contracts appearance of the Portuguese in MS seems improbable the Madrid "Real".
to the Next beginners the introduction in MS will cost 150 million dollars. It is also known that 12 applications for franchize creation are at present submitted to MS: Sharlott, Nashville, Indianapolis, Detroit, Phoenix, St. Louis, Role/Durham, San Antonio, Sacramento, Cincinnati, Tampa/Saint Petersburg and San Valerie Diego.
Mister revolutionary

the Star weekend
One more characteristic feature of any American professional league — "A match of all stars". The exhibition game which is taking place in The West against the East format where all strongest football players of league participate. However the MS distinguishes that fact that the management of league decided to depart from a habitual format and annually invites to this match any top European team. The meeting traditionally takes place in the season middle. Thus, for the visitor of team this match becomes part of early preparation. The structure of the national team is defined following the results of vote of fans on the official site of MS. The formed group join 11 players chosen as head coaches of league.
