No. This is so wrong. Adidas has no shame and MLS has no spine. After the damage he's done and the disrespect with which he's treated the league that bent over backwards to cater to him?? Not to mention that it's a joke to compare him to Zidane. Beckham is no where near in the same league (no pun intended) as Zidane. Zidane deserves every honor he gets for his contributions to soccer but the only place Beckham should be honored is in the media/public relations/celebrity hype hall of fame.
