Bottom line Beckham helped this league tremendously , to what it is today.
MLS's decision to finally spend some damn money to get top name players over here with the Beckham Rule is the major reason they have enjoyed increased popularity in the 10's. I wonder how many people even remember what MLS was like prior to Beckham's arrival.
Anyway DP rule proved successful and finally convinced the suits that the investment of million sin name players did have net positive returns.
