Beckham out, Razorbacks in
For those of you still dreaming of David Beckham resurrecting American soccer, here is a little more cold water to splash on your face. Wake up!! Beckham, Mr. Softee that he is, is now out for the season. He played in only 6 of the 12 L.A. Galaxy games that he could have. They are in last place in their division and aren’t going to make the MLS playoffs, not that anyone would notice or care. Lucky for him, Posh is going on a reunion tour with the Spice Girls, so they won’t have to sit around the house together wondering where to get good Bangers and Mash in LA.
Those of you defending the hypothesis that the expanding Latin American population of the United States is going to be thing that finally brings soccer to the fore, pu-leeze. Reality check, the Univeristy of Arkansas Razorbacks are going to have two stations locally start broadcasting their American football games in Espanol, because there is significant demand among the local Hispanic population. Adhering to the long standing immigrant practice of adding to the melting pot---the Arkansas kicker and several other team members are Hispanic, and adapting to the melting pot---following college football.
