Poor David Beckham. Famous English soccer star. Unbelievably rich. And yet, he still gets booed in America.
Good. He deserves it. Beckham came to the U.S. to increase the popularity of his sport here. He failed miserably. He didn't play that well (especially when you consider he is one of the top midfielders in the world), had a falling out with his teammate, and my favorite player, Landon Donovan, and then left for Italy, to play for one of my favorite Serie A clubs, AC Milan. So much for his commitment to promoting soccer in the United States. He missed the first half of the MLS season to finish up with AC Milan. All he's been worried about are his chances to make England's roster for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He believes he needs to be playing at "a European level" in order to accomplish this. Thanks.
There's also a rumor that he's working on a deal with another European team, or looking for another 6 month loan, at the least. I say good riddance. Go back to Europe.
Soccer is becoming more popular in the United States, no thanks to Beckham's half-hearted 'help'.
