Galas aren't just for actors and musicians! They're for athletes too!!

Last night marked the 28th annual Sports Spectacular Gala held in Century City, California, and some of the BIGGEST names in sports came out to play!

The night featured a memorial for the late Los Angeles Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss as well as an award ceremony for athletes such as US soccer superstar Hope Solo and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul!

But the real guest of honor was none other than Jason Collins, who earned the title of Inspirational Athlete of the year for his decision to become the first active player to come out as openly gay in a major U.S. sport!

The trailblazing center said:

L.A. Galaxy forward Landon Donovan doesn't just think HIS team is ready for openly gay players, but all of Major League Soccer!

He even pointed to Robbie Rogers, who came out of the closet in February just before stepping away from professional sports. It's a shame

It's been one craaaaAAAAaaaazy week for Directioners.

One Direction had their big announcement yesterday where they announced their Where We Are stadium tour in 2014 - and to sweeten the deal, they went SHIRTLESS.

Yes, after their press conference, the boys walked out onto the massive Wembley Stadium soccer field where they took off their shirts and changed into several jersies representing all the countries they will be touring next year. OH, and not only that, but they played soccer too like the little hotties that they are.

Go get your bibs ready because you're about to droooooool when you see this footage AFTER THE JUMP!!

David Beckham is pretty damn good at soccer, and he's STILL good at 38 years old, with just a small amount of time before he officially retires. He's had 20 years to hone his skills, and countless trophies to show for it.

What was his one skill that he seemed to hone above the others?

THE FREE KICK!

Exhibit A (above): Head shaved, Beckham gets a free kick in the game against Greece in 2002 — and it's down to the wire. Not just any wire. England needed to score to have a chance at making the 2002 World Cup!

HOLY SHIZZ!!

Mind you guys, this isn't the only time he's pulled off an amazing free kick! In fact, it seemed to happen more often than not!

If you want more examples, be sure to ch-ch-check out the other videos AFTER THE JUMP! So fab!

The game will miss you, David!

All good things must come to an end, but David Beckham's legend will live on!

At only 38 years-old, David signed a five-month deal to join the Paris St. Germain in January, and straight up donated all his salary to charity. If that didn't tell you the end was coming — and he was just going to go out having fun instead of earning — well we're sorry this is coming as such a shock to you!

Here's what he said:
