Clearly the affable New York Giants receiver is the toast of the Big Apple. In addition to football, Beckham’s charm and personality have made him a desired pitchman. And we all know that in the NFL, as in life, we tend to ignore the foibles of the folks we like.
So kudos to Gary Myers of the New York Daily News for raising the “Beckham issue” before training camp. As some of us know, dedicated fans and athletes may not want to hear the truth. The word fan is a derivative of fanatic, and in some cases, fans allow their heroes to get away with too much.
