The Difference Between an American Sports Contract and a European Football Contract

Major League Soccer Talk 29 November @ 06:10 PM EDT

Â

I wanted to follow up Kartik's excellent post on the nature of the MLS contract with a look at this situation from the MLS owner's perspective. If there is one thing the owners fear and will try to avoid at all costs, it is having a situation like what exists in Europe where a player contract is really a one-way street with the top players in a ridiculously powerful position.

Editorial: All For One...Dollar

Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. They giveth and they taketh away. Then they try to taketh some more. Don't blame those poor old men in pinstripes though, they just can't help themselves. Give credit where credit is due, the money-hungry misers who feed our footy obsession, like Harry Rosen-clad crack dealers, are very good at what they do. Click to continue reading...

Third Kit Swindle Launched

Arsenal News News News 02 July @ 10:00 AM EDT

Arsenal launched a third kit. They was the usual fanfare and hype as to the finesse of the quality, the "English" pinstripes, the woven labels etc. The question that people need to ask is why do we need a third kit and what happened to last year's away kit, a one season wonder?

Arsenal's home kit is red (stating the obvious), whilst our new away kit is blue.

New Away Kit

The Offside - Arsenal 21 May @ 08:13 AM EDT

Photos of the new kit floating around today. When I first saw it, I didn't think too much of it, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.

Scoreboards of the future

Craven Cottage Newsround 23 April @ 04:52 PM EDT

One of many reasons why the New Yorker is essential reading, even in London.

But from the perspective of one fan in the press box, where the seats are free, the new Stadium experience did offer some unexpected pleasures, such as the running transcript, on a couple of the outfield scoreboards, of the new P.
