$136,986.30 Per Day for Five Years!

[DRAFTSTUD]

Alright, I know Zip about Soccer, but David Beckman does! $136,986.30 a day for 5 years! A client of mine said that Soccer turned his son's Baseball up a couple of levels because of the Eye-Body Coordination it develops. Wish I had that kind of paycheck for a Week a Year!!!

How in the world is anyone going to make THAT kind of money playing soccer ? I mean, unless your own kid is playing, soccer is the most boring game in the world. More exciting to watch curling.

Acon...it must be international endorsements, media rights...etc...can't be ticket sales in the U.S.

I couldn't agree more.

A few days ago, while waiting for a customer, soccer was on TV. I watched and decided it must be amateur, really slow and boring. One of the teams was "Real Madrid". Later I learn, that is Beckman’s current team. That's it ? That's the best, worth 250 mil ?

Time to get into mini-van, orange slices, and Capri sun sales.....that's a lot of coin to make up!

It has to be exciting to watch in person, why else would those folks in Europe get in those HUGE brawls after every single big soccer game?
