The MLS has signed their death warrant. They are going to go into the same downward spiral that the NASL did after they brought in Pele.

Possibly. They do have a new rule, that was informally called the "beckham rule" that allows them to spend like crazy on one player only.

The other players are all still salary capped, with the top salary being 400,000 a year.

They figure, one marquee player per club, and it will draw buzz. Rumor is that Claudio Reyna is going back to the US to play for NY, and that NY is trying to sign the Brazilian Ronaldo as well.
