Dear Mr. Beckham,

       I'm not sure if you saw me last night.  I was sitting in section 237.  You see, my son is a big fan of yours.  Last night was a really big deal to him, coming to your Galaxy game and all.  So there are a few things I have thought about that I would like to share with you that could have made our experience at the Home Depot Center that much better...

     First of all, it would have been okay if you would have let the security at the front gate know that I was coming with a zoom lense in my purse.  You could have told them to let me in with it, so that they would not have measured it at the gate and made a big scene.  Then they might not have made me take it all the way back to the car.  You could have let them know that I was harmless and not paparrazzi.  That I just wanted to take good pictures of my son as he walked in the Parade of Champions down on the field.  That is all I wanted to do.  You could have told them that for me.



      Secondly, lets talk about that Parade of Champions for a minute.  There sure were alot of "champions" in that parade.  We really thought it was going to be a more personal experience. 

      It would have been okay if you could have ran over to that soccer team, you know the one,  in the green and black stripes, and gave them each a high-five.  That would have made their day/ year/ perhaps life, even.  Especially number 7 on that team, he would have been over the moon!



      The next item I would like to talk to you about, Mr. Beckham, is the prices of your jerseys.  Fifty four dollars is a lofty amount for a nine year old boy to pay to adourn your number on their back, don't you think?  I can think of a lot of things that cost that amount of money, but $54...really?  It that necessary?



     And speaking of jerseys, it would have been okay if yours got caught on something, causing it to tear.  Additionally, it would not have hurt anyone's feelings if you had to then take said jersey off and change it. 

On the field. 

In front of the crowd. 

No problem at all. 

     And lastly, Mr. Beckham, it would have been the topper to my night if this cardboard cut out of you that I posed with, would have magically come to life when it was my turn to take a picture.  You could have turned to me at that moment and said, "Thanks for bringing Hunter to the game, Sara".  It would have been okay.

     Congratulations on your win over San Jose, Mr. Beckham.  I like your new beard.  Thank you for taking my suggestions in to consideration.

Sincerely,

Sara
(Hunter's Mom)
