Hey, David Beckham is moving to the US of A. He told the British media that he wasn't moving for the money - but he's getting like a million bucks a week.
But he's not moving for the money...and I believe him.
1. He's getting on a bit. He's not as good as he used to be. He stepped down as England skipper and then was dropped from the team roster. His International career - let's face it - is pretty much over. His football performance in the World Cup this summer was lacklustre (for him).
2. His wife's "career" isn't taking off in London or Madrid. The ex-Spice girl never wanted to move to Spain after he was transferred to Real Madrid. She preferred to stay in England to work first on her singing career (she can't) and then on her celebrity career. But that resulted in David playing away a little too often. So she want to Spain and wrote a book called That Extra Half Inch - which she says is about fashion, but which I suspect is about starving oneself - her only real talent. Spain was never going to work out for Posh and England wearies of her. So where to next - the land of her new best friend - Katie Holmies and other celebs.
3. I believe that David Beckham genuinely has a missionary zeal for football. I think he finds it staggering that America doesn't embrace the sport that he and the rest of the world loves. I think he wants to make America love soccer, too.
4. I believe that David Beckham sees the US as an untapped soccer market. Yes, that's kind of about the money, but it's probably more about pioneering and entrepreneurship.
5. There is a wider range of hair products available in the US.
