Ruud Gullit back in USA: Conspiracy??

"David (Beckham) is more than just a football player and I think he does extremely well to give football here a lift. But I doubt if they (U.S. soccer organizers) really want that. I think they are afraid of football because it's so popular everywhere around the world. I think they will just control it so it doesn't become more popular than their American sports."
“I have my doubts if they really want to make it popular. Some sports already have had a bit of a dive so they don’t want American football to become less popular, or basketball or baseball.”

Hhhmmm...
A lot of MLS club owners do own other sports franchises.
