Yes, based on some of our conversations we are hearing player spending isn’t increasing at the same rate dedicated in the last few seasons in the USL Championship.
1. do you have a preference in how we consume your Podcast content? Does BT90 get more "credit" if we consume directly on Substack, versus Spotify or other? Most of us have subscriptions to multiple platforms, so have discretion on choosing which that contributes to most to your mission!
2. regarding player salaries, it is likely that although the mean salary may be stagnant, but the variance (or standard deviation) is wider? For example, for every Cal Jennings or such celebrity signing, there is many more signings of academy, ex-MLS Next Pro, or fresh college grads? Overall, that is a healthy thing for the domestic soccer ecosystem! More opportunities for players born or developed here in the U.S.!
