That's what made David Beckham a tremendous investment on the part of MLS. The league may have grown by seven teams, built another wave of soccer-specific stadiums and passed the NBA and NHL in average attendance without him during this period. But he forced sports fans in the U.S. who are ambivalent--or worse--toward soccer to realize it was happening.
