Chris Birchall Holds Umbrella for Beckham

This is one of the funniest things you'll see in a while as far as team jokes and pranks go. The LA Galaxy's Chris Birchall has a laugh with Beckham as he holds an umbrella over his head in training when it starts to rain. Don't want Beckham to get wet. I wonder if that was in Beckham's contract? That he has someone hold an umbrella for him if it rains in LA. Hilarious.

I guess Landon Donovan doesn't get this kind of special treatment, yet.

What's even funnier though is that while Birchall held the umbrella for Beckham he sang the Rihanna umbrella song:

Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)

Birchall is making $145,125 per year while Becks makes just $6,500,000, not including endorsement deals. I'm guessing Birchall might actually hold the umbrella for Beckham for a fair price, as would a number of LA Galaxy players making the league minimum of $40,000 per year. They’d probably happily sing a song of his choice while doing so, too.
