Many of the professional sport leagues in the United States claim their league winner is a world champion. The hockey league maybe possesses thr best claim as many teams are in Canada and often win the league. But, plenty of near Artic countries also field professional leagues that could compete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MLS can’t make that claim. European leagues dwarf it. Total MLS payroll is about $500 million. Premier League pays $2,310 million. The best players in the world play in Europe (including the best US ones) because that’s where to get the money and play against the best in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
