Let's take a look at the list.
First off, If you sum up USA players salaries vs the rest of the WORLD... the difference is drastic.
Second, the whole "world" follows soccer, which is a gross exaggeration, but lets roll with it. That means 7 BILLION people are following and supporting the sport while only 320 Million people follow (also a gross exaggeration) and support US sports. If 7 billion people follow soccer, why are they only paying there best players 55 Million?
Lastly, take a look at the richest athletes ever and get back to me. Spoiler alert David Beckham is #15 on the list. http://www.therichest.com/top-lists/...hest-athletes/

400 million people + watch a single fixture in the regular season (not a final) in Spain 2x times per year. That's 800 millions live views over 180 mins of football.
No other sport is even close. Sorry your wrong. You will continue to be wrong. And you just look like a fool as you continue to argue your point.
No other sport in the world comes close to the popularity as football.
