No, Don't Come
I really want to get into some illegal underground Cock Fights. As long as we don't bet on it, we won't get into too much trouble. Thats about all I have to say as far as the whole Vick thing goes. So I will talk about Soccer.
A quick read through the Yahoo Sports page will point out that they have a list of players who they feel should join Beckham in the United States. Granted, I love this country, but in no way shape or form should any respected Futbol player ever, and I do repeat ever, join the MLS. Let me indulge you, the reader, with my own top 10 list of why they should stay over-seas.
10. In the rest of the world soccer is worshiped and respected as a sport of the gods. Over here in America, its just another sport to keep you occupied. We don't have the response or the admiration they could ever see over in Europe.
9. Air Fare, Its so freakin cheap over in Europe to fly anywhere else that it makes no sense in spending a few hundred dollars flying around the states.
8. The Pound. It's about 2 for 1 American dollars here folks. To be making 100 million over in England, is about half over here. So lets say you decide to go live back in your home country of England after a brief stint in the MLS, well, youll have to do a currency exchange, and lets just say your giant pocketbook might be a little lest giant.
7. The Euro. Its not 2 for 1 but its still worth more than the dollar. Take the above scenario and replace England with anywhere in Europe.
6. Hicks. Honestly, we have some uncultured, foreign hating, people over here that really just would turn me off to playing anywhere but New York or L.A. Sorry Kansas City, but realistically how many people in the city even know what a foreigner looks like. Probably alot, but that would hurt my point.
5. The National Debt. I have a hard enough time living in this country whose debt is in the Trillions.
4. Health Care. I'm going to get a little Michael Moore here and just say, whose going to be paying for your bruised tibia Beckham, when you don't have the right Insurance. Sure won't be Uncle Sam.
3. Education Reform. When your kids say to you: "Daddy, I would like to learn." Your first thought should be: "This is America and our current education system is entirely lacking as far as Primary through Secondary Schools go. I shall not be sending my child to one of those 'Public Institutions.' And then send them back to bording school in London.
2. Obesity. Ronaldo is fat enough, we don't need to send him over here and just help induce obesity on the guy.
1. Electoral College. It's just ridiculous. Don't try to argue, it just is.
On a serious note, support Amnesty International, Oxfam, or Free trade coffee. its good for the soul and the wallet.
