'We Need Nets': Soccer Great David Beckham Stars in New PSA Campaign to Fight Malaria in Africa

LOS ANGELES, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A Public Service Announcement featuring David Beckham of Real Madrid urges soccer fans to donate $10, the cost of one mosquito net, towards the fight against malaria. Malaria kills over 3,000 children every day in Africa, yet the disease can be easily prevented with a $10 mosquito net. In the announcement, David Beckham kicks a soccer ball into a goal with a missing net. The PSA closes "We need nets" and points viewers towards MalariaNoMore.org.

The PSA is also viewable at http://www.malarianomore.org/.

This follows on the heels of Major League Soccer taking on malaria as an issue. David Beckham will become a MLS player with the Los Angeles Galaxy in July.

MLS has a great chance to show thugery the door early this season. Roberto Brown of Colorado Rapids needs to be shown for future games. His 'boots up' reckless slide/tackle into CJ Brown was career threatening. The red card was the nights easiest call. Roberto Brown is a thug and the MLS and Rapids team is his latest 'street'. He has played on 13 teams in the past 13 years. He will be 30 years old this year with his best playing years far behind him. Is this the best player for the MLS payroll? Certainly, there is a young american out there that could be given a chance. And if there isn't an alternative then the MLS is not a development league and is a 'shit league'.

Here is a recent list of Shirt Sponsors (Advertiser seen on front of shirt). I found the current list very discouraging. The biggest complaint Objectivo hears on MLS is of the quality of the players and coaches. If there were more shirt sponsors wouldn't MLS be able to buy better players and coaches?

Shirt Sponsors
Toronto FC - BMO
LA Galaxy - Herbalife
Red Bulls NY - Red Bulls
Salt Lake - Xango

No Sponsors:
Houston Dynamo - None
DC United - None
Colorado Rapids - None
Chivas USA - None
Columbus Crew - None
NE Revolution - None
Kansas City - None
FC Dallas - None
Chicago Fire - none
