World football legend and international superstar David Beckham was ordered to leave the sidelines during a children’s game that was taking place before his son’s game.

Yes, this is true.

Beckham revealed the story on The Jonathan Ross Show:

"I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and there was a penalty given. And the kids are seven years old and he sent the kid off. And I was like, 'Come on, he's seven, referee, you can't send him off.' He looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can.' And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park. For real. The gate was only 20 yards away and I waited and went back in when my son's game was on."

If you have ever been to a children’s organized sporting event of any kind, you know how out of line these parents can get. With that considered, I still have to agree with Beckham on this case 100 percent.

Given the fact that the kids were seven years old, unless there was a blatant attack on another player, there is no way that a referee should be sending kids off. Then again, I think we all know a seven-year-old that is capable of doing something worthy of getting sent off the field.

The referee from Los Angeles probably has to deal with the snobbiest people in the world. Beckham is just another guy on the sideline critiquing his job that deserved to get sent out.

When that jaded kids soccer referee red-carded Beckham, I bet there was no greater thrill in his life. He probably called all the people that said he wouldn’t make it to rub it in their face.

As awkward as the whole situation was, it must have dripped with tension when Beckham came back to the field for his son’s game just a few moments after being relegated to just outside the sporting complex.

Just imagine David Beckham on the outside of a gate looking in because he got yelled at. Too funny.
