MLS Front Office Space

August, 2009

Commissioner Garber

David? Would you come here for a moment, please?

DAVID BECKHAM

I'm sorry. I was late. I was having lunch at Spago.

Garber

I need to talk about your flair.

BECKHAM

Really? I have mentioned over how cool I think the MLS is 15 times this week. I, uh, (shows him)

Garber

Well, ok, 15 is minimum, ok?

BECKHAM

Ok.

Garber

Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Well, like Landon, for example, has praised our single-entity closed league 37 times this week. And he has a terrific smile.

BECKHAM

Ok. Ok, you want me to say more?

Garber

Look. David.

BECKHAM

Yeah.

Garber

People can get their soccer anywhere, ok? They come to MLS for the atmosphere and the attitude. That's what the flair's about. It's about that special blend of pep and parity.

BECKHAM

Ok. So, more then?

Garber

Look, we want you to express yourself, ok? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then ok. But some people choose to say more and we encourage that, ok? You do want to express yourself, don't you?

BECKHAM

Yeah. Yeah.

Garber

Great. Great. That's all I ask.

BECKHAM

Ok.
