SAN DIEGO (AP) — The U.S. Soccer Federation failed for the second straight year to approve a by-law amendment that would have given its president a $125,000 annual salary instead of remaining an unpaid position.

The proposal received 62.87% approval at this week's USSF annual general meeting, falling short of the two-third vote necessary for adoption, the federation said Saturday.
