David Beckham is a world famous soccer player who until recently played in England. He was made famous for his legendary set pieces (corner kicks and free kicks) and key role on the England National team. Then he became even more famous when he married star singer Posh Spice of the Spice Girls.
In early 2007 it was announced that Beckham would sign a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy and become the highest paid MLS player in history. In order to play for the Galaxy, Beckham moved his family to LA where they currently live.
When asked why he wanted to play for the Galaxy, Beckham said "I look forward to the new challenge of growing the world's most popular game in a country that is as passionate about its sport as my own.” Do you think having such a big star in the United States will increase the sport’s popularity here?
Having such a big star on the team has boosted attendance at the Galaxy's games. In fact, many Beckham fans attend the games solely to see Beckham.
What do you think about the LA Galaxy's decision to recruit Beckham? Do you think they did it for publicity and so that more people will come to their games? Do you think some athletes are overpaid or overrated?
