J Hutcherson of The United States National Team Soccer Players Association weighs in on the Beckham news with a heavier dose of skepticism than many of his fellow pundits across the U.S. soccer universe. Among the things he says to consider: while we know that Anschutz Entertainment Group, the owner of the L.A. Galaxy, is going to swallow the cost of Beckham’s enormous $10 million per year salary, won’t his move be an even bigger boon to the rest of MLS? The Galaxy’s average attendance is quite robust as it is, so the biggest beneficiaries in terms of attendance will undoubtedly be the Galaxy’s away match competitors. What about the MLS Players Union? How is the rest of the league going to feel about playing alongside a guy making more than 100 times what they do? There’s no doubt that Beckham is special, and anyone who can’t accept that from a business simply doesn’t want to see MLS succeed. How will the arrival of the next wave of stars (Ronaldo and Edgar Davids have been widely linked with moves) be greeted-and how will these players react when they don’t get nearly as much money? Beckham, he reiterates, is special, and no one in the world market-except perhaps Zinedine Zidane-has as much drawing power in the American market as he does, so MLS should enjoy the media blast while it lasts, because no one will care as much when Ronaldo’s unveiled next week.
