MLS Designated Players

This is actually a flash movie, which I'll post as soon as I can get it to work properly.

At top are players that have brought excitement, respect, and commercial success to their teams and MLS, while towards the bottom crawl the misfits who embarrass the Designated Player (DP) designation. Meanwhile, on the right are the biggest on-field successes; at left, those whose presence has seemed to hurt their team's performances. The circles approximate the size of annual salaries. Red tags indicate ex-DPs (although Claudio Lopez is still playing in Kansas City, for one-fourth his former wage. Respect.)

What do you think?
