Beckham offed by the Glazers!!! Conspiracy and intrigue!! There has to be a good movie or book that can be made about this.

“Star soccer player makes show of solidarity against evil, sinister owners by allying himself with the proletariat revolution of the green and gold. Just days later the player falls mysteriously injured and is out of contention for the World Cup. Was there a shooter on the grassy knoll? What did David Beckham really know, now that the Glazers have silenced him forever.”

I swear someone owes me money for this idea, plus, I’m sure David would be willing to play himself in the motion picture: “The Beckham Code.”

Johnny, the top link in the post goes to a WSJ(!!) article with a good summary of the reasons for the discontent. But yeah, in a nutshell, what Elle said.

Private organizations are allowed to act like Tyrannies. It’s Feudalism of the 21st Century people.

Johnny, the short version? the Glazers buying the club plunged the club into massive debt when it had before been completely debt free.

People actually pay more attention to it now that he denied it. Even people who didn’t know about it are talking about it now.

Joel, after a lot of thought, I think I disagree with you. By making an anti-management statement without admitting to any anti-management sentiment, he manages to draw attention to the movement itself without making this all about David Beckham.

I think the guy is a lot smarter than most people give him credit for.
