FC Dallas have decided to turn lemons into lemonade when the Los Angeles Galaxy visit on May 23rd.
Teams are in full force selling season tickets. We would hate to have their job, after all, they're trying to sell in the worst economic environment in decades, and now David Beckham won't be coming to town.
FC Dallas announce "DB23 Voodoo Doll Night" to replace "Come See Beckham Night" on May 23rd. "Come on out and put a hex on Becks!" the posters will read. No fans could be reached for comment, as it is rumored that they do not exist.
The tug of war over the "soon to be retired ex-English captain whose best days are long gone" appears to have come to a close with everyone getting exactly what they want, except Don Garber. The clincher came last friday when The Don found John Wolyniec's head in his bed. Negotiating with the Italians is a bitch, eh Don?
He came, he saw, he had fucking floor seats for the Lakers! What will become of the Galaxy now that their brightest shining star is gone? What will happen to the success achieved over the past 2 years? Who will fellow Galaxy players hit up for some cashish in these rough economic times? Will Eddie Lewis become the media darling of the American sports landscape? So many questions, so few answers. One thing is for sure, DB23 probably won't be invited to dinner at the Garber's house any time soon. I'm sure David is crushed about that one.
We should all take a moment to admire the negotiating prowess of the league officials, who were able to wrangle a few more months of juice out of the DB23 PR machine. Nice going numnuts! You managed to bring back a player in the middle of the summer, precisely when interest in the league is always at it's lowest levels. For DB's sake, the Galaxy hopefully will be already out of the playoff picture. Sorry... I forgot this was MLS, everyone makes the playoffs! Even the slow kids!
No official word yet from DB23, but one of our insiders in Milano asked him about going back to Los Angeles. "It's no bother, I have a feeling that pesky knee injury will pop up again" he said, with a wink.
