Is the same thing as people trying to buy a Ferrari. Demand vastly exceeds supply so they will have no problem finding people that will think nothing of spending that amount of money. And frankly speaking $1,500 is not a lot of money. If yo

It is the RIAA that is wasting our time and money by pursuing these type of cases in the first place. You do know that they could just drop the case. She is doing us a favor by not letting herself be bullied.

Of course it happens. The same way that people get hit by lighting everyday, or that someone wins the lottery every day. But to pretend that in soccer you can get the same kind of dangerous injuries as in American Football is disingenuous.
