It’s a sporting event. Players get injured. Just cuz you bought a ticket, doesn’t mean that player won’t get injured. Don’t you think Yallop would have preferred to have Beckham’s experience and poise on the pitch last night? They sure could have used it.
Of course, I’ve been saying for years that the league should be promoting teams rather than players. If you’re a regular reader of my blog, I’m sure you’ve heard it before. But the bottom line is, players come and go…but …

What the heck was that? Think about it, you score 4 goals in the first 20 minutes of a game on the road and still struggle to win? C’mon now, that was just crazy. Sure, it was entertaining but it was poorly played at the back for both teams.
In the half-a-day or so since the match ended, I’ve read everything from, “it was the greatest MLS match ever,” even though it wasn’t an MLS match to,” it was a sloppy mess and proof MLS is crap.” …

I was on Beckham overload at the time…ok, I still overloaded. Anyway, here’s a nice piece from a Sports Business News writer on whatshisname and MLS.

I’ve been defending MLS and US soccer for….well, a heck of a long time. I’ve defended it against Euros who still seem to think we’ll make the goals bigger, play four quarters and so on. I’ve defended the sport against Americans who insist soccer is slow and boring–while watching a baseball game. However, the insanity of MLS/AEG reached new levels as I watch the Spiced Savior tell Rob Stone he’ll probably not be playing against Chelsea while reading the scroll at the bottom of the screen claim …

Like I said a few days ago. Being the topic of this cartoon strip has to be a sign that Becks arrival goes beyond anything else the league/sport has seen so far.

After watching the ‘event’ I came away with one burning question.
Why does every event have to have a confetti canon?

With all the silly media hype available everywhere you look right now (they even had news of his arrival in LA on the local morning news here) these silly Tank cartoons are a nice change and probably more accurate than 90% of the British Tabloid reports.

Paul Anka? Well, I guess it would be a change from some teenybopper group.

By the time he heads to Moscow, Becks could have played as many as three matches on the stuff. In typical England fashion, the media will completely over react to the surface and after the match the players will say it was no big deal.

I haven’t read Tank in years…well, not on a regular basis. But I’m glad I stumbled on this.

If this isn’t a sign that the mainstream media is paying attention, I don’t know what is. I’ll be sure to check the rest of the week.
