A cheap way for Galaxy to make $100,000

For the LA Galaxy, it's a good way to garner fan support. Have open tryouts and allow less talented or unproven soccer players believe for a weekend that they can make a major league team. But forcing 800 hopefuls to pay $130 for the privilege is crass. This is the same team that signed David Beckham to a $250 million contract. They reportedly extended two players hopes for another week. Meanwhile, the team pockets about $104,000, gets free publicity and
sinks a little lower to the level of other pro sports teams that squeeze everything they can from the fans.
