This is why former Miami Heat star Ray Allen opposes Beckham's proposed stadium site

One day after David Beckham and his partners unveiled their vision for a new stadium complex in Miami, former Miami Heat player Ray Allen has spoken out against the plan.

Allen, who played for the Heat from 2012 to 2014, took issue with the group's vision to build on the current site of the Melreese Country Club in Miami. In a post on Instagram, Allen explained the golf course’s importance and usefulness to those around the city.
