“You could have told me that a couple of months ago.”
— Los Angeles Galaxy President Alexi Lalas after overhearing David Beckham tell an interviewer, “I’ve never played soccer for the money. People say that’s easy for you to say because you’ve got the money. To be honest, it’s never been important to me. The game is important to me. I’d play for free.” Beckham is in the first year of a five-year deal with the Galaxy that could earn him as much as $250 million. (The Canadian Press)
