David Beckham let it be known Thursday that he has no intention of apologizing for his actions during the Galaxy’s friendly match against AC Milan on Sunday night during which he confronted a group of disenchanted Los Angeles fan
But Beckham said the entire incident will not affect him greatly.
“It’s not a setback for myself,” he said after the Galaxy’s training session Thursday, according to the Associated Press. “It’s other people that have to change. It’s not about whether I can move on. I wasn’t the one booing.”
Beckham, who has incurred the Galaxy fans’ displeasure for his ongoing flirtation with AC Milan, said he was unhappy that one of his children had witnessed the scenes.
“I don’t like my son seeing that and hearing that,” he said. “From an organized group of fans, I think it was disrespectful.”
Beckham had acknowledged on his return from a five-month loan spell with AC Milan that he would be the target of fan displeasure but said he had received far worse during his time with Manchester United and Real Madrid.
“At the end of the day, I play my game,” he said. “If it’s not good enough for some people, as long as it’s good enough for myself and the team, nothing else matters.”
