We canât know what it was like to wrestle with that legacy, to try to honor all that came before, but not wind up a pale approximation of countryâs greatest ghost. Born Randall Hank Williams, but singing as Hank Williams, Jr. before he was 10, the son never had much in the way of a career choice. The choice wasnât whether heâd sing, but what, how and why.
MLS Salaries. Beginning and lower-echelon players in Major League Soccer make a minimum of $35,125 a year, by far the lowest minimum salary of major professional team sports in America. As of the end of the 2013 season, 154 players made less than $50,000 a year. The average salary in the MLS, however, was $160,000, and the median salary was $100,000.
Unlike MLS, in which the playersâ union posts contract figures twice per year, USL salaries are not circulated. Most players are paid during the spring-to-fall season only. There is no minimum salary. An above-average player is estimated to earn $2,000 a month, with some making $3,000 and more. The prospective union group has been distributing authorization cards to players. If a majority shows support, Philipakos will ask the league for formal recognition.
