David Beckham to play for L.A. Galaxy

250 million for 5 years. That is insane. I wish I was that good at soccer.

50 mill a year??!?! WTF?

Well it includes endorsements. Plus the owner of the Galaxy is loaded, makes Snyder looks like a pauper.

*Yawn*

Thanks for the input. :rolleyes:

It would be nice to see the MLS gain some traction, if for no other reason than DC has a dynastic team. Let's go united!

i hate soccer, but would go just to see his wife:)

I played soccer as a kid and think its more fun to play then watch. But I do like watching the U.S in the world cup. Just on the odd chance they might actually make us proud. :pffff: But I really haven’t cared about MLS up to this point. But now that the Galaxy has Beckom I’ll probaly start to glance there way every now and then while reading the sports page and maybe go to a game our two. I defiantly think it’s a good move for the league.

as a huge fan of soccer, i would say this move is truely to put butts in the seats. beckahm is a good player but not great. he is one of the most noticed athletes in the world and kids love him , it will draw alot of attention and fan base.

Soccer? What is that?

Yep. Beckham is definitely on the downside of his career. It's a total publicity move -- a good one though.
