Beckham won't play for Real again

It's being reported that Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has said that Becks will not play another minute.

"He will practice, but he is not going to play," Capello said Saturday at a news conference.

Beckham's contract with Real Madrid expires in June. The 31-year-old player would "continue to give his full commitment and professionalism to the club," Beckham spokesman Simon Oliveira said.

"David is surprised at the quotes from Fabio Capello, as nobody from the club has informed him of their intentions," Oliveira added. "As far as David is aware, he has a contract for the remainder of the season and he remains dedicated to the club and its supporters."

I'm an RM fan, really. But this reeks of petty vindictiveness. Players leave on Bosman all the time with other clubs. Heck, this is the same club that kicked Figo, Redondo, Walter Samuel, Morientes, and others out of the door with nothing but a pink slip. And they get all haughty over Beckham leaving? Beckham might be alot of things, but he's also the consumate professional, I don't doubt for a second he would have done all he could for RM to win a trophy in the mean time. This just stinks.
