re: Do you take Beckham to play half a season on home town discount?

Honest question. How many people on here would take half the pay that you'd normally get to work at your local mom and pop hardware store? That's essentially what a hometown discount is?

Not commenting on the " should he take a hometown discount" thing but that isn't even close to the same thing. No one grows up idolizing a mom and pop store or dreaming of working there. Your friends and family aren't pushing you to work for the mom and pop stores nor coming to cheer you on while you work. Look at Keenan Lewis who did take less money to come here. LINK Some people do dream of playing for their hometown team and would be willing to make some concessions. That's not me saying they should or that it should be the expectation.
