David Beckham has been at the forefront of much speculation this over the past coming weeks over his alleged move to European giants A.C Milan of Italy's Seria A. Beckham has expressed his desire to make his loan move to San Siro (Milans Stadium) permanent in order to reinforce his chances of playing at the 2010 World Cup.Milan are understood to have had an initial bid in the region of £6million rejected by Galaxy, who are thought to want around £8m for the midfielder, but the Serie A club's vice-president Adriano Galliani claimed earlier on Thursday that there had been substantial progress in this transfer.
After you here of Baseball players over in the states getting money deals well in the excess of 20 million dollors a year, 8 million for David Beckham seems miniscule. It shows that the "big three" sports in America have substantial econiomic differences and can offer in my opinion ridiculous amounts of money to players and staff.
What are your opinions on this?

I feel sorry for Beckham. I think playing in L.A., then going back to Europe just made him more aware of the talent difference, and how his game could just completely drop off if he continued in the U.S. In Europe he can play with the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho and Zambrotta against some of the best talent in the world. In the U.S. he's going to play with ... Landon Donovan ... against ... no one really.
ReplyDeleteAs far as economics, the big three sports here in the U.S. are on a WAY different economic level. Baseball and basketball are the worst at giving large contracts to players who don't deserve it, IMO. Baseball is by far the worst because there is no salary cap. I think this, combined with their arbitration rules, contribute to big contracts being awarded to undeserving players. This is my take, and again, it is very, very condensed.
