Yea, at first I thought that too… But just think what kind of publicity US Soccer and the MLS will get! Viewers will be able to help choose a player, even if he doesn’t play, I’m sure there’ll be lots of attention surrounding him which will help promote soccer. The only reason half the US even know who Beckham is, is because of the movie Bend it Like Beckham! And once Beckham joined the MLS, ticket sales rose at each stadium, cause people came just to see him! I have a feeling something similar will happen with the guy who wins this spot on the Sounders. I think it’ll help out the MLS a lot!

I think this, like any other reality TV show, is simply mocking the sport of soccer. I think its great that they would do something for the public like holding open tryouts but to make the choice up to the people is stupid, in my opinion.
