The Beckham Boondoggle? The fight against Inter Miami’s stadium ‘landgrab’

Soccer paradise? Or another great stadium heist? Inter Miami's Freedom Park deal has come under scrutiny ahead of a key vote

The 20th anniversary of the film Bend It Like Beckham has been widely celebrated this month, but an unauthorized sequel of sorts is making waves in Miami.
