Obama Teases a Bashful David Beckham About His Underwear: VIDEO

Obama_beckham

President Obama welcomed the L.A. Galaxy to the White House today and singled out David Beckham for a round of barbs about his age, as well as his fashion sense, Politico reports.

"Half his teammates could be his kids," said Obama, adding, "It is a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear. David Beckham is that man."

Victoria Beckham's Fashion Week Package

Writes David Beckham on Facebook: "So proud of my wife taking #NYFW by the balls".


Roland Martin: If You Know Dudes Who Are Into David Beckham, Beat Them

Last night during the Super Bowl, H&M aired an underwear ad featuring a lovingly-photographed David Beckham wearing not very much. CNN's Roland Martin didn't like it much. He tweeted:

Picture 20If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl

To which GLAAD promptly tweeted:

@rolandsmartin Advocates of gay bashing have no place at @CNN #SuperBowl #LGBT

To which Mr. Martin tweeted:

@GLAAD @cnn well you're clearly out of touch and clueless with what I tweeted. Way to assume, but you're way off base

Mr. Martin later insisted that he meant to advocate violence against soccer fans, not gay men. Which makes one wonder why, earlier in the day, Mr. Martin tweeted:

Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass

GLAAD's not buying it. A new press release up at the organization's website is "demanding" Martin's "removal" from the CNN lineup.

Does pink remind Mr. Martin of soccer? In any case, GLAAD's not buying Mr. Martin's excuses: They've now posted a release to their website "demanding" that CNN "remove" Mr. Martin from the air.

To be fair, advocating for actual violence against gay people would be out of character for Mr. Martin. As GLAAD itself reporsts, on Mr. Martin's own website he advocates "loving" and "breaking bread" with LGBT people -- while praising his wife, a Baptist minister, for delivering so many of them from their unBiblical lifestyle with her special faith-healing witchery. Maybe Mr. Martin doesn't want to smack the ish out of sinners; maybe he only wants to smack the ish out of their sin.
