David Beckham was fined $1000 over fans incident

Soccer star David Beckham received a minor punishment from Major League Soccer for his word war against some L.A. Galaxy fans who booed at him during Galaxy-AC Milan exhibition game.

Challenging some Galaxy hecklers, David was ordered to pay a fine of $1,000.

During that game, Beckham was greeted by LA fans with several hostile banners like:

- Go Home Fraud 23
– 23: Repent
– Here Before, Here After, Here Despite 23
– Commitment ≠ Part Time Player!


MLS commissioner Don Garber said, "We support our players interacting with fans, whether it is at clinics, charity events or by high-fiving their supporters in the stands while celebrating a goal. However, our players should never engage in conduct that can be interpreted as encouraging fans to come out of the stands and onto the field, regardless of the reason."
