Beckham's everywhere - well, perhaps not, but he's certainly getting more press coverage than any other soccer player I've ever talked to. He's involved in Swiss politics, too, apparently.
The latest reports about
Beckham's Galaxy contract are making it look like MLS lied with the 250 million dollar number, though it was all along an estimate of a very unique deal. Even though Beckham's base salary is even lower than I'd guessed, (I'd thought 9 million a year), what Beckham has done here is take a share of the house profits. It's like when his buddy Tom Cruise has a movie deal that pays him half the profits of the movie. Cruise's salary at that point doesn't matter, because that contract will make him millions more.
