I disagree with that. Beckham did conquer america, he did put MLS on the map. He was the face of MLS and the face of the Galaxy.

Before he joined MLS, the league didn't have the rich foundation that it has now.

Galaxy profited and so did MLS. His existence was a huge success for both entities.

Beckham's on the field and off the field stardom increased the value of the league, and his presence in the league made former euro stars less myopic about playing in MLS


LA won titles on his watch, and all eyes were on beckham.
