The "open topic" thread.
« on: April 12, 2006, 01:24:22 AM »
Ok, since I have to work nights and I am off tonight I thought I'd make a pot of coffee and let anyone discuss/post/contribute/flame/ridicule/scoff/poke fun/or whatever you want to contribute.  Let's begin.

Here's mine:

D. Beckham wants to finish his soc, errr, football career in the U.S.

Should we care?






Going to make the coffee, will be checking this thread all night.

Cheers.

Isn't that what Pele' did? I mean you prostitute you heritage and honor for the bling, right? Isn't that what today's society is all about?

Now that's an interesting point RPM.  Let's say Beck does finish his career here.  Will that make him a sell-out to his fellow UKers and earn their scorn and derision?  Or would they say, "Go for it mate, take the bling!"  

Good luck in the jacuzzi BTW.

He plays for Real Madrid in Spain anyway.

He is just wanting to raise his profile over there so he can make even more money.

But why would he want to do that?  It's not like soccer is all that popular over here.  And it would seem he'd make much more money back in the UK.  Wouldn't he?  Even Pele couldn't get soccer that popular here.  He made an impact, sure, but was it a wise move?

I dont think its about actual salary from the football club.  it is the sponsorships etc. that he can get while over there.  I guess he must earn approx $180,000 per week from real madrid, all of his sponsorship deals, image rights, advertising etc. probably makes him earn 4 x that amount a week.

The older he gets, the less he will earn playing football, why not move to USA and get bombarded with offers for sponsorship?

Like I said, UK football isn't that popular here.  How much money does he think he could make?  Even the most popular sports stars here don't make $180 grand/week.  Eeek, that's alot of dough.

Does anyone here think Eddie Van Halen still deserves the run he gets?  To me the man is freaking nuts.  Brilliant guitarist but damn, he's really out there now.

Hear hear! I'm number two. I'll go ahead and say that professional soccer players are overpaid whimps degrading the word 'sport' by being a totally negative example to the youth.
