hockey is different than soccer - to casual American sports fans they are going to be looking at Beckham and expecting alot of excitement and they're going to wind up going 'huh?'. soccer isn't a sport like basketball where one player can really dominate the game and stand out the way Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant do. Even people who had never watched a hockey game could see that Gretzky was special cuz he had the puck so much more than the other players and was involved in the majority of scoring plays and when Gretzky was playing the Kings were scoring alot of goals.

soccer will never catch on as a pro sport in the U.S. - the best it can hope for is to become a niche sport like hockey is and I don't think it will even do that.
