Recently read a piece of sports news..A rather weird piece of news so I thought I would share it.

Two kids in USA are going to court to sue each other, or rather, their parents advised them to do so. Guess what they are suing each other over.

Yep, this is the item which the two of them are fighting over. The jersey that their idol, David Beckham, took off after a match and supposedly handed over (or threw) to Boy A, though I suppose not in the condition as depicted by the picture...

Boy B is not happy about it because he insisted that the jersey was meant for him and tried to wrestle the jersey from Boy A. It resulted in a fight on the spot for the jersey and the boys’ parents stepped in and instead of stopping them, joined them.

Parents of Boy A demanded possession of the jersey by their child, since he caught it anyway. Parents of Boy B insisted that David Beckham supposedly told their child that he was to have the jersey. They also argued that their son should take the jersey since he has been waving the banner and cheering for Beckham for the whole match while Boy A just sat there and did nothing. Neither side wanted to give in, so they have to settle the case in court.

Wonder if Beckham would be a witness for the case?

Well, I personally duno what is there to fight for over a wet and dirty jersey which stinks of the player’s sweat (well, theoretically it should stink) and you obviously need to wash it (unless you are not thinking of doing so to ‘preserve’ the player’s smell, that would be quite freaky), and well its value will be the same as any normal jersey bought from the club’s store right? You might as well buy a new one and told everybody “David Beckham wore this!” and well nobody would be able to tell the difference. Imagine spending all that money fighting for the case while you could have spend it on so many other things.

Haizz..probably because I don’t idolize any player, or any other superstar, so you might say I don’t understand how it feels…but all the same, from a neutral point of view, the whole case is just so UNNECESSARY.
