Off Subject - Scoreboards

Post by maryann »

As many of you probably also have, my Yahoo home page has a Scoreboard Content. Up until just a couple of weeks ago the only apps I had added were my Kansas City Royals (Yea) & my Kansas City Chiefs. Just recently other teams started appearing on my scoreboard section, Hull City/Liverpool, Crystal Palace/West Bromwich, etc. I finally figured out these are soccer games. Stupid question: What are the little numbers listed beside these games, ie. 46 or 47 or 48? You can tell I don't know much about soccer?

Maryann the numbers are probably the average monthly salaries players are earning per month at their respective clubs !! e.g 46=46 thousand pound sterling .Exclusive to the USA market because we know the Dollar is King there!!

Rob, are you serious or just kidding me? I can't believe they post salaries on line. As for the dollar, it's not so great right now. lol

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
