That's why I saw the New England Revolution on my flight from Dallas...I didn't know who they were, but they looked like athletes, and when I tried to talk to them they were huge jerks.

Athletes? Yeah its a sport , yeah you have to be in shape and it requires skill but they are FRIGIN SOCCER players! Them having an "attitude" for riding a commercial flight. They wonder WHY the sport won't catch on in the US they way the fanatics take to it in Europe? They do NOTHING to promote the sport except act like a load of dinks. Get a grip boys if you were professional athletes you'd be in a WHOLE different LEAGUE......no pun intended.

Yeah! If you want to be treated like a REAL athlete in the United States, you have to drive drunk, beat women, and be cruel to dogs! C'mon, we expect a certain standard of behavior from our Sports Stars and you guys just don't make the grade! (Lucky you!)

soccer was invented to keep french women busy while the men did the cooking, not a sport. Here in the USA its not anyway.

O yeah, his wife is gross!!!!

Beckham and his snooty bride are waaaaay overrated. They both think their stuff does not stink, and they are a colossal bore along with their chi-chi pals Tom and Katie....quelle drag...

If you want REAL soccer, turn on Gol TV and watch it...you may not know Spanish, but it is a fun and exciting sport...and Becks is not representative of most of the players.

Referring to the Beckhams' coming to LA...ladeedah...about as much buzz as the opening of a Walgreens. I kinda like their approach...but much more, would like to see their departure.

C'mon, folks!! With the state that commercial aviation is in today, who can blame him?? Think long
security delays, an antiquated ATC system, aging
airplanes, the huge increase of regional jets, and
the unbelievable hassle of getting in and out of the
airport!!! General aviation is now the only way to go!!! I applaud you, Mr. Beckham!!!

Given how much attention Beckham receives, and rightly so, it's more than acceptable he fly private. I'm sure his teammates, who benefit from the attention, have no problem with it either. As far as I'm concerned, the man has a lot of talent, is a real boon for US soccer, and is a true class act. Other atheletes could stand to be more like him.

Screw him and his wife. Do they think they are royalty? Go back where you came from. Soccer is a sport for wussies.
