The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.
You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.
For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.
@KICKandSTAND21@BoddieChri55337@Dejan_Kovacevic@TheTruthSwagner Starting floor (~$170M) is still $66M more than Pirates' current payroll. That's spending a ton more already. Also, I'd expect the floor number (and maybe even cap) to rise as negotiations progress. Then, as revenues increase, floors increase. System works in all other leagues.

@mvukovcan@Pirates No doubt, credit where it's due, even if I don't like Ben and don't think he deserves to be here still. That said, Ashcraft is a Huntington guy.
