You did not state your opinion on the matter. You obviously have a man crush on David Beckham.

1. Galaxy and MLS did not want to loan Beckham. They don't get a fee for it. Beckham orchestrated it himself. He wanted to keep playing to stay in shape during the winter. It would be like a baseball player playing winterball in the Dominican.Teams don't loan players to get money. They generally loan young players to lesser clubs to get experience. Sometimes the lesser club, if they really want a player, will contribute some of his salary.2. He already offset his "ridiculous" salary. He makes $6.5 million per season. LA Galaxy profits have gone up 700% since he got there.But, it's only soccer. It's not like it's a real professional sport or anything. Why stick to facts or research when you can slap up a picture of him staring at Cheerleaders and call it a day?

This doesn't mean Victoria Beckham has to leave, too, does it? My life will never be the same.

Becks definitely drew some attention to MLS during his stay here. Otherwise all MLS highlights would have been regulated to Sportscenter's 'ESPN Deportes' updates.

I think pro soccer in America has run its course, too.

But he's done so much to skyrocket MLS's fame in the U.S.
