[QUOTE="ak47, post: 96456"] I disagree Sure he will ge some limelight, but NONE in comparison to what he experiences in Europe At first he'll be hounded by ESPN, and other TV channels for interviews etc The gimmick will die down immensely.......even if he earned more $$ than the avg NFL star, they wont talk about it, cause soccer over there is like rugby League in the UK...or even worse Pele wasnt the talk of the town when he arrived....in fact not many people know Pele even played there - thats an indication of the USA approach to soccer. Beckham can go there and try and get into Hollywood..sure thats an option But if he thinks he can be a Sports analyst in a sport they dont even care about (Soccer), and increase his own profile in the USA via that way is BS. Hollywoods and talk shows are his only bet......if he stayes in Soccer in the USA when he hangs up the boots, like the ESPNSoccernet, that nobody in the USA knows about, he'll be on the HARD COPY missing persons report in a week. Hounded at first YES After a while - NO His skills on the pitch wont help him either.........everyone thinks he is overated, in fact i reckon his missus will create more media stir than himself. IN THE USA = GOSSIP > SOCCER [/QUOTE]
