the beckham product
have you read about one of the biggest sports deals of all time?
no matter what he says, or LA galaxy says, beckham cannot be leaving real madrid for tinseltown for the sake of soccer. he did say he wants to make history. i'll grant him that. but soccer glory history? c'mon david, kiss my ass. and make it linger.
as far as i know, you will make it glamourous. with skinny posh by your side, there will be exposure. for the love of football and sports, i just hope you don't sully a fantastic sport. the fact you're marrying the sport into entertainment marketing reeks. to high heavens.
bring in the high profile celebs and you lose the pure fans. or rather, you lose sight of the little person who gives life to the sport.
another harijan story in the making. the real sports lover will fall through the cracks.
i hope i am wrong. dead wrong.
your thoughts? prove me wrong, will ya?

in the nba, some players have a clause in their contracts called "for the love of the game" wherein any injury sustained by them while playing the sport outside of the league (say, a pickup game in the backyard half-court) will not result in the rescision of their contracts. which means these high prized players, with all the millions, with all the adulation, still play for free in their small privacies because they loved the game.
if there is an idiot out there willing to give beck 250 mil, why blame him? for all we know, he will still play the sport even if nobody is willing to pay him anymore, all because he loved the game.
what can i say? pms, my only excuse. my dad sent me that link posted in the entry and when we chatted about it, he said, "galing ni beckham, gago galaxy." tama diba? someone is willing to pay him a fortune, and who would refuse that?
*wags finger at self*
thanks cbs. am just a foolish fan, is all.
i heard another side of this story... "for the love of posh". katie holmes (oh, excuse me, HRH katie cruise) is trying to setup a movie deal for posh in hollywood. it certainly didn't take long for posh to get into the thick of things in hollywood. she was partying it up after the golden globes.
oh well, posh is full of fluff and frankly i'm not interested in her. not with david either but i will follow his progress with the galaxy in the next year or so... see if he can perform according to the unreasonably high expectations of american sports marketers.
til then... go ronaldo!!! LOL (cristiano)
