[@barak-rocky-giles2081]

Growing up in LA I was always a Galaxy fan, since that was the only soccer team I could actually go see play. However, I love the change in culture that Atlanta United, LAFC, and now Inter Miami CF are bringing to the league. I'm just hoping it spreads everywhere and thereby raises the quality of the league as a whole.

[@taridean]

My day immediately gets better the moment I see an Athletic Interest video upload.

[@thomascamus3136]

And this is how YT videos should be made. Great video once again.

[@randomdad985]

That contract is pretty funny

[@bobgotracks5680]

’The Contractor is allowed to open an MLS franchise at a fixed fee of 25MLN $’ This man Beckham was thinking 20 steps ahead, and I’m pretty sure that those who allowed this agreement didn’t put any fight against this condition!

[@aandwdabest]

They see an opportunity too.

[@baquithemonkey5330]

Been a resident of south Florida for over a decade I'm seeing here the increase interest of football fans here in MLS because of this new team. And man do we football fans here have seen the struggles Beckham has gone to bring this team into reality. The challenge of building state of the art stadium in Miami still remains. The club also got hit recently by the biggest fine in MLS history after violating roster designation rules regarding Matuidi

[@AthleticInterest]

Thanks for the comment, great to hear the perspective of a local football fan.

[@naimulislam6867]

Claim your "Here after MESSI Transfer"

[@ScantlySerious]

Also Inter Miami is in the downtown area quite close to the Miami circle (I live close by and didn’t know it was Beckams)

[@TrystaneTheBlack]

Just goes to show how incredibly well done Athletic Interests videos are, Messi is now on his way there..

[@benficaM8888]

man that clause in the contract is such a genius move

[@Northwest360]

This did not disappoint!! 👏🏻⚽️ amazing editing as always. Thank you for highlighting the league!

[@AthleticInterest]

Thank you 🙌

[@zakwatterson2026]

I just love how the Outrun aesthetic is perfectly emphazised in the club's logo & identity, that is a very cool design.

[@chlam2552]

3:08 good contract deals I must say

[@SeanRosairo]

This was an excellent breakdown!! MLS being American (North American) is right, but it does span between both the USA and Canada. Beckham being in MLS did make TFC (Toronto Football Club) seem a more legitimate team and league. We have a pretty healthy European and South American immigrant football culture in Canada so it was amazing to have a local team!

[@alexandrebanave7243]

Prophetic video. That's a perfect video for everyone today. Good job brother.

[@AthleticInterest]

Thanks, Alexandre!

I've been following KZbin pages for some years now, but nothing gets me as excited as your videos. The content and editing is obviously world class as every comment here mentions. But what I'm more excited for is the accent, you can make anything sound interesting. Keep up the good work, cheers!
