A little-known aspect of the Beckham-MLS signing

The guys over at Yanks-Abroad have nailed it. Are there really going to be more Europeans coming over to play in the U.S.?

But tell me, how many top European players are going to sacrifice top paychecks in England, Germany, Italy and Spain to play in front of 20,000 on a hot and humid New York City evening in July?

A remote chance of playing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup or a legitimate shot of playing in the Champions League (probably the best tournament in the world of ANY sport)?

Lets face it, even with the new rule, MLS will still be as likely to attract old, nearly has-been soccer players as it ever has before. They just have the ability to pay them better (are you listening, Ronaldo?).
