I think David Beckham will make a difference, but it won’t be significant. Any attention he draws to MLS is good for the game and ultimately for him, but one man, no matter how special, can lift a sport that Americans perceive as “foreign” to the heights it is held in other parts of the world. The truth is, when it comes to “Futbol”, Americans are simply not bent on Beckham.
