I'm calling BS on Beasley


As Rich wrote in his latest post just minutes ago, everything is just peachy in Glasgow for U.S. DaMarcus Beasley these days...

Yea all that except for the fact that like Rich rightly noted he only started nine games in all competitions for Rangers — Scottish Premier League, Champions League, Scottish Cup, and Scottish CIS Insurance Cup.Not to mention the little incident that happened back in February when his car was set on fire and he tweeted "someone blew up my car, glad that no one got hurt."

Did I further mention its not the first time his car has been broken into/vandalized while playing for Rangers, he was one of four Rangers players whose cars were broken into in December of 2008.

And lastly like Rich also mentioned he is out of contract and is willing to make less money to stay, but the club has not even made contact with him about negotiating an extension or new deal. As Beasley essentially said the writing is on the wall. Rangers won the Scottish Premier League by a comfortable eight points over bitter Glasgow rival Celtic, but Beasley really was not in the picture scoring just two goals and four assists on the season.

So according to Beasley, the ideal perfect location is a club whose fans blow up your car or break into it on a regular, a place where you get little to no playing time, and a place where management thinks you aren't worth their time to even make a phone call to let you know one way or another if they want you back for another year. Come on DaMarcus, don't piss on my leg and telling me it's raining too, everything you just said is utter horse shit - except for the fact you still want to play in Europe.

To be perfectly honest, Rangers is a great spot for Beasley or any other potential American international. They always compete in Europe whether it is the Champions League or Europa League, and therefore those players get great European experience.

And the players that will make up the U.S. roster this 2010 World Cup and for the foreseeable World Cups down the road will be based out of European teams.

If Beasley can't play for Rangers, he probably can't play in the English Premier League or any other legitimate league in Europe. If he can't play for Rangers or Celtic in the Scottish Premier League, he might as well not play in that league because simply the rest of those teams are like MLS teams, they aren't quality enough competition. And if he can't play in Europe he can't play for the U.S. he knows it and that's why he wants to stay despite getting treated like dog shit his last and final year.

Beasley is no dummy, he knows how this process works.
