Yikes. Overtown was a very bad area when I lived in Miami. The old arena where the Heat played was there and they had to have lines of police shepherding people from the metrorail station.

"Miami Beckham United" 
Please tell me that's the actual name of the Team and not just the parent company!

Not interested in him in the slightest .

Always thought this was a bit odd. He seems to spend more time prancing around in gym gear in Los Angeles than Miami.
Perhaps he'll show a bit more interest now and his PR can be cranked up.

Miami isn't a sports city. Teams across major sports get terrible crowds. So he'll have his work cut out.
But you clicked on the thread and commented anyway?

if I was to start a football club in the US i would pick a town full of latin americans that doesnt have a side.
They don't have a side because they didn't go to watch Miami Fusion.

Isn't the MLS now just the runner-up prize for those that fail the job interview for the Chinese Super League?

If anyone could make a success of a Miami football club it would be Beckham.
The key thing is the quality of the football and despite the Chinese Super League I still think the MLS will be an attractive proposition for the likes of Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard who have already made their big bucks and fancy dropping down a level without the grind of the Championship.
Assimilating to American life is easy for any footballer - the same can't be said for China - and I fancy a Miami franchise run by Beckham would represent an attractive destination for many British players looking to see out the final 2 years of their career and then move on to a coaching role. Good luck to him, I say.

So Beckham bought some land and sold it? Is that it? Did he make a profit?
Miami?
Well Miami doesn't have MLS and does have a substantive Latin-American population.

Exactly this.
A very smart move by Beckham due to the aforementioned huge Latino population, warm location, close to Europe and with about 16 million tourists visiting Miami each year, many football fans might be tempted to take in a game if the stadium is close to the city and cheapish ticket prices.
