However, Obama could not resist making fun of Beckham and his underwear line, quipping: “He is tough. It is a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear. David Beckham is that man.”

The death of soccer player Piermario Morosini during a game on Saturday has triggered investigations into a delay in the ambulance’s arrival and calls for more medical equipment at sporting events.
The 25-year-old Morosini, a midfielder for Livorno, collapsed after a cardiac arrest in the 31st minute at Pescara in central Italy. He never regained consciousness.
After the news of his death, Italy’s soccer federation postponed all the weekend’s professional matches. No date to play the Serie A games has been set although a midweek programme at some point in the next two months is likely.
Morosini had himself known tragedy. He lost both his mother and father when he was a teenager and a brother committed suicide, newspapers reported.
The NFL has unveiled its new sleek uniforms designed by Nike. The league and Nike showed off the new look in grand style Tuesday with a gridiron-styled fashion show at a Brooklyn film studio. Uniforms for all 32 teams were on display.
