Wednesday night's rumor has become Thursday's night official announcement: David Beckham is leaving Real Madrid and the most recognizable name in soccer has agreed to a five-year deal with Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy.

Is this a potential watershed moment for Major League Soccer?

Will a move by David Beckham to MLS make the league relevant in an already crowded sports landscape? Will Beckham increase attendance, boost television ratings and ensure the league's highlights are shown regularly on sports shows?

Will other MLS teams follow with big-name signings as well?

Or is this just a desperate attempt by MLS to gain some attention?
