Time To Let Go.....David Beckham

There comes a time in every ballers life that they have to say goodbye to the game, hang up the equipment and leave the running, jumping and playing to the next generation. That time has come for soccer favorite (and allround banger) David Beckham. Beckham (37) has been playing professionally since 1992 (19 yrs for the mathmatically challenged).

Beckham did not make the starting lineup for the 18 man squad for Team Britain Olympic summer games.
After failing to qualify for the team Beckham had this to say:
"Everyone knows how much playing for my country has always meant to me, so I would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad. Naturally I am very disappointed, but there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me. And like everyone, I will be hoping they can win the gold."

Becks... I <3 you..I really, do but it may be time to start thinking about retirement. Go out on top and leave the soccer playing to the next generation. I may have never watched you run the field or kick a ball but I have enjoyed every 1 of your ads.....

Tony Parker May Miss The Olympics

Tony Parker's Olympic dreams may have ended because of a shard of glass. Parker's eye was injured during the fracas that occurred between Chris Brown and Drake in club W.i.P. VIPs section. Bottles were thrown and club W.i.P. was subsequently shut down.

Parker filed a 20 million dollar lawsuit against the club due to his injury, and it appears as though the damage to Parker's eye was worse than first believed.

According to an interview posted on Parker's website: "I almost lost my eye....I'm seeing a specialist in New York with the hope of being given the all clear to play in the Olympic Games,"  "Anything can happen, including me being out of the Olympics. The decision doesn't belong to me anymore. It's in the hands of the doctor and San Antonio."

Wow this sucks! See what happens when sensitive thugs get to popping off in the club? innocent people get hurt!
