Injured Beckham sits out Galaxy loss to New England

It’s FOXBORO, not FOXBOROUGH!

There are two ways to spell the name, and our style is Foxborough.  Strangely, we found that we were using Foxborough for stories and Foxboro for photo captions, but we have now settled on Foxborough for both. Among those also using this spelling are the New England Patriots and the town itself: http://www.townfoxborough.us/  GBU Editor

Thank you Reuters and GBU Editor! I am a lifelong resident of this borough named for the Honorable Charles James Fox.
