The
agreement between AC Milan, the Los Angeles
gaLAxy, and David
Beckham allows
Beckham to stay at Milan until the end of the season and return during the summer window in mid-July to the
gaLAxy. The agreement includes buyout money from Mr. Posh himself, which speaks loudly as to how much he wanted out of LA. But this was not the most unnerving aspect of the deal. The
gaLAxy scored a summer friendly with AC Milan on July 19 as part of the deal. The previously scheduled
SATURDAY match with the Red Bulls was moved to
THURSDAY. Therefore, the league moved a date for Becks in New York. While ESPN will be
clamoring to adjust the schedule and pick up this Thursday night game, the fans who wanted to attend this game lose out by putting it on a week night...in the biggest market in the league. The league will
forgo a sold out Giants Stadium for a cacophonous shell of a stadium. The league and the fans lose on this deal.
