So, David Beckham has signed a $250 million/5 year deal to come play football (soccer) in Los Angeles of Major League Soccer.

Personally, I think this is a great move - Beckham probably no longer has what it takes to play first team for Real or Man U or a big European side, but he should do well in North America and will bring a lot of attention (as Pele once did) to North American soccer.

I think the MLS needs to continue to try to bring big names over and keep the profile of the game high. Even Beck's teammate Ronaldo might become available.
