ok as my first official blog on this site I want to comment on the new David Beckham deal that the L.A. Galaxy agreed on. According to ESPN Mr. Beckham signed a deal(with endorsements) for 5 years for 250 million dollars. UHM, can you say ridiculious, I understand the concept of trying to save the MLS, through proper investment, but at the price of 50 million a year… I think that might be some money flushed down the drain. Considering that most of the soccer fans in the U.S. are mainly of the latino descent (or spoiled white kids who care of only themselves) they most likely dont care about Beckham as much as they do about the appointing of the new national coach Hugo Sanchez. I think that this is a nice gesture for the MLS, but I believe its more of an opportunity for Beckham and his wife Posh to achieve the ultimate Hollywood dream as opposed to David trying to do a noble thing like saving the MLS. But I guess if some one was willing to pay me that much money to play soccer in a place that I wouldn’t living in (especially with the high maintenance wife looking over you shoulder) then I guess I could find it in my cold black heart to accept the money and move.
