When do you think MLS players will start getting the big endorsements?

Sempuukyaku · Nov 6, 2003

For the last 6 to 7 years, it's the female players who have been getting all of the big endorsement and sponsorship deals.

Well, now that Hamm is retiring and the WUSA is defunct, do you think the men will start to get some of those?

And if so? When?

I'm thinking that after 2005 when we get two more teams, and MLS heavily runs the marketing machine regarding that (and the completion of some SSS'es), and another strong performance in Germany '06, that the men will start to get some endorsements.

CRAP!

Sorry, I meant to put this in the general major league soccer forum. Mods, if you see this thread, could you please move it to there?

Thanks.

I"m thinking another 20 to 25 years. Once teams have their own stadiums and start selling them out on continuous basis, then we'll see some endorsements.
