I don't think he'll have much of an effect other than higher ticket prices. He's old [for a professional athlete] and his ankle injury is going to keep him from playing a lot of the time. I believe his presence on this side of the ocean will barely make a difference in the sport.

He will be the face of the industry, similarly how Lebron is the face of the NBA-at least in my opinion- Beckham will indeed make MLS more appealing, so when flipping through the channels to see what's on, and you stumble upon ESPN, you will not change the channel again, you will actually watch it for 2-3 minutes to see if you can catch the european star.

He will help in the short term. However, if his play isn't superior to what a soccer fan is already seeing in the MLS, the interest will die down quickly because he is more of a novelty than anything else. I am only a mild soccer fan but frankly I am worried about his signing. They gave him bigtime money and a league that is only mildly popular can't afford to pay most players what he is making. If Beckham has a bad year, other players are going to claim they are worth even more than he is. It is a potential problem.

I don't think his game will affect the league very much (he's past his prime), but considering most households are primarily controlled by women and most women think Beckham is hot, MLS will become more popular in the US.































It's going to be the Premier League/Bundesliga meets People/GQ.

He was only bought to open the option for other foreign players to join american teams when they are thinking of packin up.
