LA mayor booed at David Beckham ceremoney
LA Mayor Villaraigosa booed at David Beckham ceremony
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was greeted by a crowd of thousands Friday with something he doesn't usually hear a booming chorus of boos.
The icy reception came as Villaraigosa took part in a welcoming ceremony for the newest member of the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer superstar David Beckham.
But when the mayor was introduced, the crowd estimated at 5,000 turned on him with jeers and howls as if he was a member of an opposing team, while the moment was recorded by a vast array of international media.
It might have been payback.
At a 2005 match between the Galaxy and in-town rival Chivas USA, the then-mayor-elect took the first kick while wearing Chivas' red-and-white striped jersey with his name emblazoned on the back. Even his son wore a Chivas jersey.
And the mayor is also friends with Chivas' president, Antonio Cue.
Despite the racket, Villaraigosa maintained his signature smile and slipped on a Galaxy jersey. But he was all but ignored by the fans when he shouted, "Do we love David Beckham?"
Asked about the mayor's chilly greeting, Galaxy spokesman Patrick Donnelly declined comment. But a Villaraigosa spokesman, Matt Szabo, said the loud show of disapproval wasn't a surprise.
"The mayor is a very public and avid Chivas fan," Szabo said.
Villaraigosa has had a run of bad publicity he has been the focus of days of unflattering media coverage over his affair with a TV newscaster and the breakup of his marriage.
The Galaxy's home stadium is in Carson, a suburb of Los Angeles.

This guy cheats on his wife NUMEROUS times, practically deserts his kids while off playing 'hide the pork and beans', seems to have a big aversion to actually working for the city, supports illegals and la raza.... and he is mayor???? makes one wonder what kind of people would support a person like this. When integrity, character and honor bound to work in the best interests of the city, all take back seat to political agendas and poor behaviour, where are we headed.... you know.. are we already in mexico? The corrupt just get more corrupt, and everyone just sorta sits around doing nothing...
If you can't keep your work and vows to your wife, under god, do you think he is looking out FOR YOUR best interest?

It seems all you need to be elected in the southwest, is an hispanic name.

The slime in a suit deserved to get booed.
He's a Chivas fan.
Does anyone have the lyrics to the 'We Hate The Chivas' song?

A KFI 640 reporter said that people in the audience were also yelling "where's your girlfriend?!" So it's not just a case, as the MSM is reporting, that the extremist mayor was booed because he supports a rival soccer team.
