I guess, but Austin doesn't have a pro soccer club, and we will never have one, so maybe that's why. I have been attached to the Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs since childhood because I've liked them for so long. I didn't even know the United States had a professional soccer league like the MLS until about 2008. And I watched the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Austin Aztex are professional but they aren't very good

I'm sorry again to all US soccer fans but I don't consider any league under the MLS to be a "professional" league. I really don't. I have witnessed USL soccer in person and seen a few NASL games to tell you that it is not professional soccer. Sorry.

Sorry Alejandro. There's only a handful of second-tier leagues in the world that I would consider "professional". Probably only 3 or 4.

NBA D-League players also receive a salary (albeit barely anything). Are they professional? Nah.

This is incorrect.

This has to be a joke...

Definition of professional:

"(of a person) engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime."

USL is definitely professional, soccer is not a pastime for any player in the league

So the NBA D-League is also professional? Because I'm pretty sure that even though they may have a second job they probably get paid more in the D-League than that other job considering it's a salary of around $25k plus paid housing.

Stick with it. Trust me, it could be way worse. At least you get the opportunity to play and you should be thankful for that.

The average is about 40k. Some make much-much more, some make less. (talking about the USL)

We're not talking about the D-League. We're talking about USL

But if the D-League is considered professional, and the top 3 tiers of US soccer is professional, then being a professional isn't as hard as it's made out to be. Chances are none of us on this SF will ever be a professional but it's always exaggerated that being a pro is extremely difficult.

I don't think you realize how competitive it is to get on a USL team

Those only factor in the MLS, NBA, MLB, and NHL. You know, the actual real professional leagues?

"MLS is professional"

When did I say Major League Soccer wasn't professional? All I said is that the games are way too high scoring for me. I don't even watch Eredivisie, Eredivisie is much worse in terms of scoring
