> Cheez am I right in thinking that there is a salary cap for most footie players in America?
Yes you are.
> I wonder if the league might become more internationally competitive if that was lifted.
Conceivably, yes. However the interest isn't here to do that right now. If Beckham does really well there may be talk of it, but I doubt that will happen. It's great if they're allowed to spend the money, but why would they spend all that money if there still isn't going to be anyone going to the games?
