Beckham Brings Soccer to America
Well, would you look at that. It appears as if David Beckham's arrival "across the pond" (as assholes like to say) has already made a significant impact on MLS ticket sales. Apparently the LA Galaxy, Beckham's new team, has "... sold 5,000 season tickets since Thursday's announcement ..." which is pretty impressive. Although, if they signed Matt Leinart they would have sold out by now. But I guess one of the world's biggest soccer stars is a close second. Plus, OMG what if, like, you totally get to sit next to Victoria at the game. Like that would be, like, so rad!!! LOL! I would totally be, like, "OMG! I totally love you. Like, I have you as my IM icon. You should totally call me L8R and we'll go shoot botox into our assholes. This is totally a dream come true. I love your hair. Super Sweet!!!" What's a little more confusing about the Beckham/MLS ticket sales correlation is that "... the expansion Toronto FC said it sold 2,600 of its 10,000 season tickets." The article made it sound like that was because of Beckham ... which sounds strange. That's like the Milwaukee Brewers selling more season tickets because the Giants signed Barry Zito. Of course, that's a ridiculous comparison, because the Brewers signed Jeff Suppan for 4-years, $42M with a partial no-trade clause. I mean, come on. What could possibly get more people into the stadium than that? Well, other than maybe "Free pony rides with Chris Capuano" or "Bud Selig Nude Photo Weekend". That last one would be awesome. Scratch and sniff. Mmmm. Sexy.
Anyway, grab your local MLS tickets now. Because you definitely won't find them on eBay for half-off in about 3 weeks.
