I really don't get why some people are upset that David Beckham isn't playing. It's not like Beckham can't play because he's off to Europe to play in a Eurocup qualifier. I could understand why people wouldn't be happy in that case. But Beckham is hurt. Injuries are part of the game, and part of the risk of sporting events. Yeah, it really stinks that he picked up that injury while playing for England and aggravated it while playing for Real Madrid, but that happens. It also stinks that folks are paying prices way above average in the hopes of seeing him play, but that is the risk associated with attending a sporting event. The Galaxy want Beckham to play. The League want Beckham to play. Beckham wants Beckham to play. But he can't.
Frustrated I can understand. Upset, even angry - no.
UPDATE: Alexi Lalas just said words to that effect in his interview during the MLS match tonight.
