Get $250 million for only 13 minutes
David Beckham's L.A. debut was anything but worth the money paid. The L.A. Galaxy gave Beckham $250 million dollars to come to America and play soccer for them.
To me this will not even come close to bring soccer into mainstream America. Especially when your highest paid player only plays for roughly 13 minutes in the second half. Beckham had an ankle injury and it was unsure if he would play or not.
Now I know he did not get that $250 million for his 13 minute debut, but damn! I guess he really doesn't have to try anymore on the field to get his paycheck.
In the end the Galaxy got beat by Chelsea 1-0. Vey funny if you ask me.
Aside form the circus surronding the Beckham's arrival to America and his outing on the field there were numerous celebs in the stands. There was even a red carpet for the celebrity spectators.
Who was there? Posh, Katie Holmes, Mary-Kate Olsen, Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields, Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Drew Carey.
