David Beckham to the U.S.A....Just A SCAM?

OK, ok,.....So unless you're a recluse hermit livin' under a big friggin' rock, 'unwired' to the world, I'm sure you've heard about the latest "British Invasion" into the U.S.!

Heheheh!...NO!,....NOT quite the SPICE GIRLS (Reunion)!  ;)  ...kinda.....well,...

Yeah,.....I'm talkin' about the world-famous duo (soon to be among the most notable of duos like Brad & Jen,...or,..I mean Brad & Angelina, Tom & Katie, Tony & Eva, Stockton & Malone, Batman & Robin (ha!)..........none other than David Beckham & Victoria (Posh Spice) Beckham!!

 

Well,.....as pretty much expected, there's already been countless talk amongst the various online gossip/social entertainment forums, as well as countless sports forums,.....about David Beckham's move to the United States.

A strong view and stance that I've curiously observed amongst these various weighted forums, is the slant that David Beckham (and Victoria, of course!), have moved to the U.S.,...Los Angeles/Hollywood with wildly ulterior (but no doubt believable) motives, such as...'for the indirect puposes of jumping into the ultra A-list of Hollywood acting/modeling/directing/exposure etc...

[....Or the expansion of their supposed various 'lines of successful businesses,' among them, indirect involvement with ex-Football player, Brian Grant's wildly successful launch of "Roadmap To Riches" (www.The-Roadmap-To-Riches.com), a program designed to capitalize on the giant $8.9 Billion dollar personal development/self improvement market niche and create 'a select group of instant internet millionaires' worlwide.] 

(Side Note: Basically, if ya wanna start living the international 'rockstar/sportstar lifestyle' like David Beckham & Victoria Beckham,..this program is the hush-hush, just-launched, short-cut way to get there faster, and with the Interent,,,,SHHHHHH!! - It seems that several pro and ex-athletes are keeping this 'secret' program, close to pocket and on the down-low!  Heck! And why not?  I would!)  ;)  (..but I'm an 'insider' Shhhhh!!)...

** [Quick note on the above mentioned 'secret' program:  If you don't have the cool $1K to get started, don't even try!  If ya do, then may I suggest that You jump on this puppy, like white on rice, while it's still early in the game!  Here's the Entry Site: www.The-Roadmap-To-Riches.com ) ...Thank God, I did!  ;)

....Or Victoria's numerous clothing, perfumes, and accessories lines...

Who knows!?!

Either/or,.....I've created this lens as a venue to discuss not only my own observations of this slant, but out of pure curiousity to see what YOU think and see as this dynamic duo, but more specifically, as David Beckham, hits the U.S. soccer and L.A. scene.....

And obviously,....to track what kind of an impact this now international futbol/soccer star, David Beckham, truly has on the value and scope of soccer prominence in the U.S.  Will the other "big-hitters" abroad, soon follow suit?  Only time will tell...

** Feel free to impart your comments/take on this open lens.  I value your viewpoints and trust that whatever ripple or tidelwave, this David Beckham causes,.....mountains of discussions will arise, nonetheless!

Hmmm, over rated, From Madrid to LA; Celeb Worship worlds and Real Madrid wasn't unhappy to be rid of the Ham. As far as the Englishmen, Owen always outskilled him and never cried even when his knee disjointed. What a waste of money he isn't even Pope, Klivert, A DaBoer, or any great.
