Professional SportsWhy the NFL Championship Games Reminded me of David Beckham’s IrrelevanceAuthored by Scott Goldberg on January 22, 2007 - 11:16am.
The Bears-Saints game Sunday was an entrée to the day’s real game, an AFC Championship that will go down for me as having more “This is unbelievable” kind of moments than any I can remember in a long time. But after everything was over and I had watched 20 episodes of Sports Center before going to bed, the NFL playoffs reminded me of how little David Beckham’s addition to MLS will mean. I thought of how the people paying him $250 million hopefully have something else up their sleeve, or they’ll be explaining why soccer is still the least popular professional team sport in the U.S., and why the league will eventually fall apart because of it.
