Major League Soccer officially announced the expansion of their franchise on Wednesday. David Beckham is expanding the franchise to Miami, with the building of a new stadium. This is the first time an ex-athlete has joined in owning part of the franchise. The new team is said to be able to start playing 2017 or 2016 possibly. Beckham is said to have bought the company for $25 million. People believe that this is a really risky move, not even the Miami heat sell out a whole stadium, so there are doubts about soccer. Beckham although is really positive about it and thinks it will be good in the area.
