I knew there was speculation, but... wow. Beckham and Donovan on the same team... The MLS honestly seems like career suicide for a soccer player, though.

$250,000,000 explains a lot.

Do you think the average American who lives in LA would know who Beckham is? Maybe 5% would know his wife, Posh Spice, but I believe the number would be considerably lower in terms of being able to identify him.
