Posh and Becks

Saturday marks the arrival of David Beckham in the forum of MLS (or Lou Gehrig's disease), or America's attempt that is the phenomenon that is European Soccer. Beckham, famous for his bending kicks and marvelous skill, and his larger than life celebrity status, signed a 5 year $32 million dollar deal to play for the LA Galaxy. While soccer purists in the States are hoping Beckham is the catalyst that will turn soccer from a niche sport (and niche might be an overstatement) to a major player at the big kids table.
Beckham better be pulling rabbits out of his ass, because he'll be another fish in a pond with guys like Kobe Bryant.
And if he can't, at least they have a reality show starring his wife Victoria, former Spice Girl and grade A primadonna. So at the very least, one of these two are posed to remain in the spotlight, whether it be for being rail thin biatch, or an aging soccer "god" who has the salvation of American Soccer on his shoulders.
But the question I ask you is will we, as the american public, even give a shit if David Beckham does pull rabbits out of his ass?

Of course not. Not unless football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, NASCAR, poker, arena league football, bowling, and the National Junior Spelling Bee all fold.
