people do not understand that soccer is different. a player can be one of the best in the world and hardly ever score a goal.

No wonder all the socialists love it. That about sums up their entire world view right there.

They took a look at wins:

The magazine points outs that attendances at LA Galaxy games are down by nearly 25 per cent - and the team wins more frequently when Beckham is not in the starting line up.

After watching an EPL or La Liga match, watching the MLS is like watching Instruction League baseball.

I understand it. I just don’t like it.

Hockey can be low scoring too but that is a sport I can enjoy watching in person even if I don’t go out of the way to watch on tv.

I don't know about that - a lot of us played it, and I think that it isn't too hard for hockey fans to enjoy as well.

What made Beckham a bust wasn’t that he hardly ever scored a goal, it was that he hardly ever played and after the first month had no real effect on fan attendance (since he wasn’t playing).

You mean like, say, the late Reggie White (Packers/Eagles) probably the best lineman of all time and a truly great player. I'm not sure how many points Reggie scored either.
