Are people excited that Beckham has come to the US?

Quote from Daxtrader:

The most exciting sport to watch is obviously football.

Obviously. That's why NFL Europe has been such a runaway smash hit. Not.

I've never watched an entire football game in my life. The most exciting sport to watch is often whatever you grew up playing or watching.

soccer is easily the most exciting game to watch.. requires a lot more skill than football..

Soccer is a great game for a Sunday afternoon nap.

NFL Europe sucks because all the rejects from the original NFL go there.

I grew up playing basketball. I love playing it but I can't stand watching it, especially these recent years.

Me too, it was my favorite sport. But you couldn't pay me to watch it TV.

They still play basketball on the collegiate level. I don't know what it is that they play in the NBA these days.

Haha you watch test cricket and you think soccer is boring?? That could be the single most ironic thing ever.

Hmm, but consider-in cricket, they can aim a rock hard ball at there opponent, travelling up to 150 km/h.

Also consider, australian rules /gaelic football are the only football codes where you must actually KICK the ball to score maximum points.

The other codes could just as easily be called "headball" or "runball" or something

Soccer? Can david beckham play soccer?Yup, thats why hes among the highest paid sportsmen in the world.

nah, not really. He's just a good player, and he makes so much money because he's in every stupid glamorous party, he is kind of nice looking, and he married posh spice.
Most of the money is just image. Definitely he's pretty good at marketing.
