Looks like David Beckham has finally added designer to the list of things he has on his plate. Teaming up with James Bond from Undefeated,  Beckham designed a collection for the adidas Originals by Originals which features other designers such as Jeremy Scott and Kazuki. Apparently their approach was to ” to update classic American sportswear with fashionable silhouettes and details.”

from the LA Times:

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber today said he wanted David Beckham’s future resolved by Friday or he would not approve any transfer between the Los Angeles Galaxy and AC Milan. Speaking at a World Cup 2018/2022 function in Columbus, Garber said that on Tuesday he had sent a letter to AEG, which owns the Galaxy, telling it to resolve the situation within 72 hours.

 ”If David believes that he wants to continue his career in Milan and Milan wants to purchase him, we’re interested in accommodating that request,” Garber said. “But right now it just continues to go round in circles and it needs to come to a conclusion by Friday.

“There’s no reason why this should drag on. They either want to do it or they don’t want to do it.”

I like it! Nobody is bigger than a league and no one is bigger than the game. I like how Garber is trying not to let this story hijack his league before the season starts.
