He has a show on FSC called David Beckham's Soccer USA that has a counterpart in the UK. The weekly show is about MLS, teams, players etc. The hosts talk about the clubs, show the week's highlights and interview Beckham a couple of times each show. They just started a theme that has him profile a few of his teammates each week. He did a great job with the first group, so hopefully that will continue. Also, he does talk about the other players in press conferences, but reporters pick and choose which quotes they use. Either way, even when they didn't need the publicity, he's always talked about his teammates and been generous about opponents. He talked about a bunch of the NYRB players in post-match interviews, and about how great Jozy is. He's a big fan of the game and other players (and a big cheerleader!) so I think he'll find ways to communicate that despite the quote editing. Hi Tony, I think he’s really trying.
