A Way For Beckham To Work On His Tan In The Future
It appears as though Real Madrid didn't get the memo from Asia which stated in big red letters, "we don't want you exploiting us with your dog-and-pony shows." Or, they may have gotten the memo and used the back of it to write out a thank you and goodbye note in urine to Luis Figo.
Either way, Real Madrid is planning to build a theme park in Beijing. But since this is the footcer socblog, there's also going to be a theme park closer to home - in Miami!
On the front cover of the new ESPN: The Magazine is a scowling David Beckham and the headline, "David Beckham: All-American." The entire article outlines how Beckham could sell the game in America (because as the writer points out, he's sick of being too American for the British).
Obviously Real Madrid missed the memo this was being published also since they plan on bypassing their marketable star and instead plan on opening footcer Disney World.
My only question is why Miami?
Of course the answer that a lot of footcer fans should be salivating over due to the rumor mill is that Real Madrid plans on starting a Chivas USA type of arrangement in the former home of the Fusion (but not placing the team in Broward County to avoid the stumbling block of the contracted team).
If they want to invest in a stadium/amusement park, more power to them!
It does give new meaning to multi-purpose venue. And as has been pointed out many places elsewhere, MLS is excited about multi-purpose venues. :)
There is a dark cloud in the silver lining that seems to be Real Madrid's huge interest in the United States. David Beckham is poised to sign an extension to his contract with the club that would last until 2009 - basically the end of his career. This means that all his talk about playing for the Galaxy or MetroStars might be all talk.
Though this does pose an interest aside. Would part of this contract include playing with Real Madrid's expansion team in Miami (should it get off the ground). Beckham himself has said he wants to play for the previously mentioned teams if he plays in the United States.
But could Real Madrid have another trick up its sleeve?
I guess we'll find out in a year or so. After all, it seems as though Harrison is getting up its stadium fast. It couldn't take that much longer in Miami since in both cases, the New York mob would be heavily involved. :)
