You know, a friend who worked over at Gap Corporate explained a lot of how companies are valued and it’s all pretty speculative and their actual financial worth is just a leetle bitty part of the whole criteria. With that in mind, the list makes more sense cause you can say #1 Beckham, #2 crazy obsessive fans #3 uh, yeah, I got nothing #4 huh?

Go L.A. and Toronto! Not too shabby for two LAST PLACE TEAMS!!

That’s right.

I went there.

I was shocked by Dallas as well. And I agree whole heartedly that RBNY should be somewhere in the top three. TFC, I understand. LA and their cakes with nuts, understandable. But the Fire? Dallas? NY trumps them by name alone. Hopefully, next year, this list will include a bump for the energy drinkers.

1- They have Becks and Landycakes (now with nuts!). No shock there.
2- Canadians don’t have options.
3- Really? I guess that makes sense, they win things and Toyota park is pretty sweet (so I hear).
4- If you said which team from Texas is here I’d say Houston. Its way closer to Mexico (I guarantee that Hispanic population correlates well with financial value…and no I don’t have time to figure this out) and they’re champs back to back.
5- Red Bull should be 3rd at worst, but the team just hasn’t won anything. Its actually pretty embarrassing that NYRB doesn’t make money hand over fist (Praying Harrison draws fans).
