I don't buy it You need to calm down and come shake my hand, GTFOH.

Beckham's a douche and so are people that would join something called the LA Riot squad. They're made for each other.

I love this part of the article

Riot Squad member Bob Ramsey, a theology professor and minister from Glendora, said he talked to fans who were closest to where the fan jumped the wall. "I haven't talked to everybody, but no one remembers hearing anything beyond 'scum,' 'traitor,' those kinds of things. Nothing about his family," Ramsey said.

"We were giving him the business as soon as he came out for warmups," Ramsey said, according to the Times. "His first reaction was to give us a thumbs-up and I thought, 'OK, he's going to play along with it and just realize that we're going to kind of give him a hard time here and he's going to have to play through it.'


"I honestly think if he had done that everything would have been fine. At halftime, he seemed to see something when he was running off the field and he came over and was challenging the guys in the front of our section," he said, according to the report.
How can anyone blame Beckham?

He went to La on the basis his international career was over as he was told by the then manager Steve Mclaren, he was sacked Capello came in and he was back in the picture, how can you expect him to play at that level if he wants to play at the World Cup the pinnacle of any footballers career, imagine Landan Donavan got the chance to play for AC Milan?

Fuck the La Galaxy fans.
LOL, not that I care because I'm not a Galaxy fan and I think Bechham is a douche for reasons not concerning this, but of course they're going to be upset, they paid him a boat load of money to come over and first change he gets he leaves.

Personally I get it but its not like we can expect all fans to be rational. I follow a couple Prem teams and their fans don't act like rational civilized people when one of their players wants to move on.

Plus their are underlying reasons. A number of reasons mainly centered around his perceived arrogance, and also his salary considering you have players on that team making less than 50, 000.

BTW I'm not saying these are my issues, I don't mind having him around, I just think he comes off as an idiot about some things in front of the media. But also there are so few die hard US soccer fans, there's an inferiority complex, a feeling that America is better at it than condescending Europeans give us credit for and that probably plays a part into it with a guy whose perceived as looking down on the whole thing.
