Beckham in the US

[all_funkt_up]

Fuck me this has just about reached Saturation point hasnt it. I was perusing the BBC Sport site and there have been no fewer than 12 stories about this since Thursday. That doesnt include stories that feature on the BBC News site either. 12 fucking stories, each trying to find a different angle to analyse one man's move to America.

The latest of which declares that Beckham is fighting a losing battle in trying to turn the American public.

Less than 48 hours after David Beckham's offical unveiling as an LA Galaxy player, the fuss is already beginning to die down.

Thank fuck for that.

Dont get me wrong, this isnt a slight against Beckham as I think he's an alright bloke actually. Just the media coverage is getting on my wick.

Sky Sports news is a no-go-zone until they drop their round the clock coverage of Beckham mania.

*Yawn*

Oh and much was made of Beckham's wage package when he signed the deal. Did you know though, that in 1974 when Pele signed for the MLS, he wanted $5million for 2 seasons. That's $2.5m a season, 30 fucking years ago!

There was some documentary on BBC2 (I flicked over during half time in the Copa America) about the NY Cosmos. Man they spent some money....
