Latinos among top-paid in US soccer

Posted by Gomez and Co. |



Chicago Fire midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco, and New York Red Bulls striker Juan Pablo Angel are the second and third top-paid players in US professional soccer.

Mr. Angel's yearly salary of $1.78 million is surely enough to make most people comfortable; but it pales in comparison to the $2.94 million paid to Mr. Blanco. Gomez suspects they pay more for players who make silly faces and dance like Bananarama.



Both men's salaries combined, however, still don't match the $6.5 million paid to Mr. Posh Spice by Los Angeles.

Gomez loves soccer almost as much as Gomez loves green tomatillo salsa with a cold Tecate, and wonders what we can do to get more gabachos watching this great Aztec sport.

Ideas?

Those numbers may seem impressive, but 6M is only chump change when you compare how much Tiger Woods took home in 2008 or Alex Rodriguez for that matter.

Still there are few women on any list. Because as much as we claim to strive for equality, even most women don't want Womens sports.
