Drew Carey On Welcoming David Beckham and Latino Immigrants
New Seattle MLS team co-owner, Libertarian-minded game show host and (former?) Galaxy fan Drew Carey manages to equate the two in the latest video he's done for Reason.tv.
It's called "Immigration: The Beckham Factor."
An excerpt:
“Americans, especially, L.A. Galaxy fans were very excited and greeted David Beckham with open arms when he came here to play in Los Angeles, even though he took the roster spot away from some poor, hard-working American kid,” Carey says in the Reason.tv video. “So I guess we’re very welcoming when it comes to rich famous Brits. And we love our Beatles. But are we as welcoming when it comes to people from other countries?”
Watch it here.
If you liked that you'll probably like Carey's take on medical marijuana, poker bans and middle-class America.
