Why LA Galaxy drives me mad
I know this is not a football (soccer) blog but I do try to highlight popular culture through my perspective as an anarcho-socialist.
Ever since I read Ruud Gullit and Alexi Lalas were on the out at The LA Galaxy, my mind has been blown and I have been extremely intrigued by the spectacle of The Galaxy.
I could write a lengthy indictment of The LA Galaxy (and I did but then deleted it). Instead let me make a few points and then suggest a few sources of more info.
The LA Galaxy is owned by a company of right-wing Christian fascists who intend to (re)shape the cultural landscape in favor of Christian fundamentalism. MLS bends rules to accomodate The Galaxy. Beckham's role is not to play football or improve his club or this league. Beckham's role is simply to sell t-shirts and make little girls squeal.
The LA Galaxy is a disastrous organization that knows nothing about actually playing good football.
David Beckham's entourage and schedule make the team unmanageable.
Now I highly suggest you take a listen to World Soccer Daily's 8/13/08 episode at about 30min into the program.
(decent thread about the episode HERE)
But be sure to get to the 8/21 game to see the new Sugar Ray perform!

The LA Galaxy's back office is a joke. The new rumor is that they are bringing Bruce Arena in as head coach.
