Issue 273 \u2013 Red card for Beckham was correct \u2013 Tuesday, 24 April 2012<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear Jason,<\/p>\n

It may have escaped your notice that a soccer superstar \u2013 David Beckham \u2013 was recently sent off while watching a game his seven-year-old son was playing in.<\/p>\n

His crime? To publicly challenge the referee when he gave a player his marching orders for stopping an opponent from scoring \u2013 the official presumably saw the offence as a “professional” foul.<\/p>\n

In David’s own words:<\/p>\n

“I said to the ref, ‘Come on, he’s seven years old, referee, you can’t send him off’.<\/em><\/p>\n

“He looked at me and was like, ‘Yes, I can.’ And I was like, ‘OK, well, you can’t, he’s seven years old.’ And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s ignore the rather bizarre notion that a seven-year-old is able to commit a professional foul and focus on the behaviour of the parent.<\/p>\n

Was Mr Beckham in the wrong? Of course he was. No one should challenge the decision of a referee.<\/p>\n

But what about the seven-year-old who was sent off? His actions had big consequences!<\/p>\n

Today’s article \u2013 How to help your players cope with mistakes<\/strong> \u2013 should be required reading for coaches who have David Beckham’s son in their team!<\/p>\n

Yours in soccer,<\/p>\n
