Beckham WTF

David Beckham WTF

First, my bona fides.  Mother Superior and I were soccer parents.  Three of our kids were on "traveling teams," playing in tournaments from Canada to Mexico, and for their high school teams.  We put 1,764,254 miles on the family wagon following them around.  We loved every minute of it, and had great times with that fraternity.  I can and do appreciate the skills and nuances. and don't write it off, as do so many of us Nort Americanos. as too slow, and too boring. I don't get David Beckham. First, he's washed up in Europe.  Second, he doesn't have near the cachet in the United States that Pele did.  So how is he worth $50 million.a year playing for some California soccer team I never heard of (okay, I guess I don't like soccer that much)? Wouldn't anyone who loves Beckham already be attending these pro games?  Is he going to get the NASCAR crowd to switch?  I thought Sirius Radio was nuts to pay Howard Stern $500 million, but, my dislike for Howard aside, could at least see  the reasoning.  This, no way.  I think more than Tom Cruise will end up getting screwed by this guy. That's all.
