LeBron on MLS in Miami: ‘We’re working on it’

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — LeBron James says his sons can play ‘futbol’ — but not football.

“No football,” James said. “Soccer.”

The Miami Heat star spoke again Wednesday about his involvement with David Beckham and the prospects of having an MLS team started in Miami. James confirmed earlier in the week that he had preliminary discussions with Beckham about his plans for Miami.

James was asked about finding a place in Miami to put a team, and the NBA’s four-time MVP replied, “we’re working on it.”

James says he enjoys the passion soccer fans have for their team. He has a small ownership stake in the English club Liverpool through his involvement with Fenway Sports Management.
