ESPN is going to ruin the whole 'Beckham' experience for any new fans trying to tune in. Some of the ridiculous cam views, mentions if he even moves, etc, it's nauseating. We joke about it, but it'll turn off a lot of people. Especially people who don't know what type of player he is, with all the mentions, they'll expect him to be a Michael Jordan type who is scoring and doing everything at all time, and when they don't see that happening, they say 'zzz, boring, *click*'
They don't even know the player they're marketing. After the game I checked ESPN again and their ticker said "Beckham: entered game in 79th minute, Did Not Score". Too funny. And then one ball in the middle of the field, the mic picks up some idiot screaming "take the shot!". He's Stockton, not Jordan. What do they care though, funny at the ASG, even out of his own mouth Beckham said it's very likely he wouldn't play at all, they kept running the "Source: Beckham will play Saturday" on the ticker, guess they had to after their that commercial that had Sat's date, care much more about their investment than the actual team
