Beckham

On ESPN today there was a poll asking whether or not people were excited about Beckham coming to the USA. I answered that I wasn't interested, and was pleasantly surprised to find that over 50% of the 100 thousand people that have voted so far agree with me.

Beckenbauer and Pele both have tried to make soccer relevant. They failed, and Beckham will fail as well. Beckham's arrival today will be the high point of the interest here in America. People here just don't care about soccer. NASCAR is even more popular than soccer. Sorry Beckham, but not even you will be able to make soccer relevant here. At least you'll get paid...
