Here's Garber's on-the-record comment on the Beckham/Miami situation (which reiterates @JoeLago reporting here: (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/david-beckham-ownership-situation-evaluated-mls-owners-committee-045846817.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw …)

Effectively, what MLS can't say - but what @joelago story on meeting suggests - is Beckham/Miami saga is gumming up expansion generally.

So probably get your B copy together, because it sounds like it's coming to a head sooner rather than later.

Which is not to say it's dead. It might be very much alive. Just that all sides seem to agree the uncertainty needs to end.
