Tuesday’s column: Bust it like Beckham

As Michael Jackson showed yet again today, dying is a great career move.

I doubt the same applies to David Beckham’s torn achilles tendon (at least in the U.S.).. (Mrs. Beckham has now arrived in Finland, BTW).

As much as the injury is a personal tragedy for Beckham, one writer Monday observed it was merely “inconvenient” for England given his limited role on the national team these days.

And for the Galaxy, the injury is virtually irrelevant.

Except, of course, for the fact the Galaxy won’t make money this year. Wonder how much is due to the ridiculous amount of money showered on a part timer (if that) like Beckham?

Agree? Disagree? Too cynical? Or realistic? Have at it in the comment section.
