K-League fans getting absolutely roasted by baseball fans right now lmao (feat. male feminists)

During the World Cup thing, people were like nah the K-League is getting hit and they're mad about it so they're artificially jacking up KBO salaries to start drama. If you throw in foreign rookie signing bonuses, there's barely a difference between K-League 1 and KBO, they said it'd be around 300 million nah but what's it actually gonna be? * 2025 Competitive Balance Salary Cap: 13.711 billion won vs. Competitive Balance Salary Cap payroll by team | Total amount | Per player average Samsung 13.207 billion won | 13.154 billion won | 332.87 million won · -555.79 million won | 327.83 million won | 1.311 billion won | -598.65 million won Hanwha | 316.34 million won | -1.058 billion won | 1.265 billion won | 123.02 billion won | 307.57 million won | 1.409 billion won Lotte | 1.221 billion won | 305.28 million won | -1.500 billion won | 263.79 million won | 1.055 billion won Doosan | 3.160 billion won | 1.051 billion won | -3.200 billion won | 262.77 million won | 894.77 million won | 223.69 million won | -4.763 billion won Kiwoom | 439.75 million won | 109.94 million won | -9.314 billion won Total/Average | 11.104 billion won | 277.62 million won

Season 25 salary cap + Season 26 rookies, foreign players + everything else comes out to 2.7148 billion won, which is lower than the salary cap of 2.7762 billion won. I don't think the overall team average salary will exceed the salary cap next year either. If you're upset about people saying it's just 160 million won, which is half the level of K League 1, then going forward I'd appreciate it if we only talked about the salary cap. I wish people would stop vaguely claiming the overall average will exceed the salary cap by bringing up rookie signing bonuses and foreign players for no reason. Three-line summary: 1. The KBO average salary (160 million won) doesn't include signing bonuses and is difficult to use as direct data 2. That doesn't mean the KBO is comparable to or higher than K League 1's average salary of 310 million won 3. When you add everything together (salary, signing bonus, incentives, etc.), the KBO average salary of 2.7148 billion won falls significantly short of K League 1's 310 million won

비가 오는 날 Kim Kyung-moon 12 hours ago It's just meaningless, whether the KBO average is higher or whatever, fuck it should just be done reasonably with taxes. How is it professional sports when corporate teams have less than civic teams, fuck lol lol lol

Marc Burley 1 hour ago Whether the KBO receives 100 million or 1 billion won, it doesn't matter because they're not getting paid in taxes

When you break it down by money, there doesn't seem to be any benefit from soccer, but it's funny how people keep nitpicking about it

Personally what's funny is when people ask if the KBO includes the Futures, but then shouldn't we be comparing the K League 2 salaries, which is the 2nd tier of the K League, with the Futures lol + And the KBO has to sign rookies no matter what so the sample size increased, right? << One of the guys in the calculation didn't include rookie signing bonuses so [nativeTerm|spoiler alert]

The result of pouring taxes on Korean soccer people

K League ACL competitive power destroyed Age-group national teams destroyed (Nowadays youth national teams losing to China, Indonesia, Vietnam) A-team destroyed (Population 600k Cape Verde, worse than war-torn Iran. Record-breaking easy group, 48-country World Cup group stage total wipeout)

towel five 23 minutes ago It's seriously fucked up how soccer people keep blaming soccer infrastructure lol

They take national money like that and still lose to Congo while somehow pulling off an insane framing job

Seriously if you told Congolese people that Korea spends 100 million dollars a year rolling out a soccer league, they'd probably cry on the spot feeling so wronged
