After my rant on professional athletes, I watched David Beckham's debut in LA last night.
This is a guy with class, with a packed stadium waiting to see him play, he could have sat on the sideline nursing his injured ankle, but he went out and chanced re-injuring himself to give the crowd what they paid for....imagine a professional athlete worried about the fans.
Although he was out there for show, he did make some stunning long distance passes, and took a corner kick, and then applauded the crowd in the stadium when the game was over.
Could this be the start of an age of athletes that actually get paid by a team, and then try and earn their money? Could it be true?
