    Default Could he be ou Savior to Soccer!!!

    250 million dollar deal/5yrs?

    "LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bend this, TomKat and Brangelina: Becks 'n' Posh are coming to Hollywood.

    And David Beckham didn't even have to audition to become the next American Idol.

    The most recognized soccer player on the planet -- fashion icon, tabloid fixture, marketing giant -- announced a deal Thursday to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

    "David Beckham is a global sports icon who will transcend the sport of soccer in America," gushed Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber."



    p.s. been a bit bizzay.

    Sorry but I don't think he or anyone can "transcend the sport of soccer" in America. The only thing that will would be to have it in more schools and as the kids that play it get older they will watch it on tv etc. IMO soccer is like hockey it's an ok sport but it will never be like the NFL or MLB or even NASCAR.

    Star power always helps. Soccer will continue to grow, but not to the popularity of football or baseball in the U.S. Football and baseball are too entrenched. Football is the "action" sport (although football is a lot less strenuous than soccer), and the buildup of plays and low scores of soccer don't fit into the Americans' instant-gratification action-sports appetites as well.

    But it's a much better sport for kids. More aerobic, less contact, teamwork-building, skills-building, and you don't have to be mutant size to be good at it. It'll continue to expand with the youngsters. That, more than Mr. Beckham, will bring it around.
