I heard last week that David Beckham scored his first ever goal for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Which of course made me, as a sports xenophobe, shake my head and wonder why people still try to force soccer onto the American public. Beckham was signed by the Galaxy in January of last year. And we're getting news 14 months later that he's finally scored ONE GOAL?
As much as I want my kids to run around outside and be active, I'm kind of glad so far that neither of them has shown the slightest interest in soccer. Kind of reminds me of the old bumper sticker about the Air Force and schools, though for my tastes, I'd love to slap one on my car that says, "It will be a great day when baseball diamonds are full with kids playing pickup games, and soccer fields are empty."
