Beckham’s docuseries was released this September. The former England international also delves into his passion for bee-keeping in the docuseries. Katie Spencer, Claire Gregory, and Stevie Wong from Sky Sports’ podcast named ‘Backstage’ get candid as they talk about how the show is trying to make viewers sympathize with Beckham without any reason.

After Katie made her remarks, Claire Gregory, the host of the show, agreed with her, stating “I think the documentary is trying to make him come across as quite sympathetic, and yet, I agree with you it’s a bit like “no-one’s feeling bad for you David.”  The conversation started as Katie Spencer shared her thoughts on the show.

Katie Spencer shared that she feels like the emotional part has been overdone to make viewers sympathize with Beckham as she said, “I think the whole tone of it is very much like, “Oh, I’m a victim of all of these things.” “Oh, my dad made me play football all the time.” His poor dad that had to go that premier with him basically saying, “My dad bullied me all the time into doing football!” It’s like it worked out alright for you mate, just doing a few kicks on Saturday!”
