Control yourself, David!!
David Beckham was red-carded and kicked out of a kids soccer game!
This seems out of his character, unless of course he was on the field, as David is usually very calm and collected — and soft spoken!
But when it comes to defending a 7 year old kid from a lousy ref, you bet your ass he’ll step up!
“I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the younger kids of [middle son] Romeo’s club, and there was a penalty given. And the kids are 7 years old and he [the referee] sent the kid off. And I was like, ‘Come on, he’s 7, referee, you can’t send him off.’ And he looked at me and was like, ‘Yes, I can.’ And I said, ‘Well, you can’t, he’s 7 years old.’ And he came over and he gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park. For real. The gate was only 20 yards away so I went to the other side of the gate and I came back when my son’s game was on.”
What!!
That ref sounds like a complete moron for treating kids like that! Yeah, they have to learn, but there’s a line of how harsh you should go!
We’re glad he’s standing up for the little guy. Unless, of course, there’s more to the story!
Apparently there’s a video of it floating around out there — and we’d love to see it!
