David Beckham prefers watching rugby

[Kevin Lancaster]

English soccer star David Beckham says he prefers watching live rugby to his own sport, The Telegraph reports.

The former England and Manchester United icon said the “nastiness” displayed by some football crowds had made him feel “uneasy”.

The Rugby World Cup had shown him how people could sit together pleasantly at a game.

“I love rugby,” he told the Radio Times. “I love watching it and I love the whole thing. I have enjoyed going to Twickenham more than I have enjoyed watching football.”

When asked why, the 40-year-old elaborated: “People sitting together with no nastiness.”

The rugby posts remind him of Victoria.

Tell him to come to Newlands when the Crusaders are playing against the Stormers, might change his opinion a bit ....

I thought Rugby was his skelmpie's name, and he preferred watching her over Victoria... or "over Victoria"... Wait, what is this post about again?

I'm not sure why this even makes it into the news. Who cares what he prefers to watch? :erm:

Indeed something along the lines of football no longer being a contact sport.....
