Soccer star David Beckham received an ugly reception in his first home game back with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Anti-Beckham sentiment ran high as the English star returned after he missed half of the Major League Soccer season while he left for AC Milan. He was clearly angered by the frequent booing and derisive banners held up in a corner of the stadium where one of the team's fan groups sits.
"I'm not disappointed. It doesn't affect me," he said. "You can't be liked by everyone."
The homemade signs all had messages directed at Beckham. "Go home fraud" read one, with a red slash through his No. 23 jersey number. Another said, "23: Repent," while another read, "Hey Becks, Here Before You, Here After You, Here Despite You." Another read, "Is evil something u are...or something u do."
