Deadspin
David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer.
I'm kvelling, and not just because I'm going to be eating matzo all next week. No, the reason I'm feeling so good is that David Beckham is sending his son Cruz to a Jewish nursery school in Los Angeles.
While Becks and Posh say they have no plans for Cruz to convert, which is probably wise because that other Cruise — Suri — probably won't date a Jewish guy anyway, at least they're going halfway.
Then again, how much can you really ask from someone who's only half Jewish (on his mum's side) and has a Hebrew tattoo on his clearly Gentile body?
As for the biggest mensch in the Galaxy, he's having quite the month — at least off the field. He got to sit courtside at the Lakers-Clippers game and was given his first traffic ticket for bending too much on a left turn. But perhaps the most exciting news is that a recent survey of adult film stars named him the celebrity they'd most like to shtup.
All I can say is: Mazel Tov!

This is news?
So he's sending his son to a Jewish nursery school, but he's not Jewish...
Maybe the school was cheaper?
only half Jewish (on his mum's side)
Any good Jew knows that it's the mum's side that matters.
I hope Cruz knows the Four Questions, he probably has to sing them on Saturday night...
@ghostsoftheSCupcountry:
Yes, Cruz with Jews is news.
Those crafty, crafty jews. Now they've infiltrated our cherished soc-cer.
D.J. Mbenga is Jewish?
@Whitey Fisk: -1. You know you deserved that
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies: Sorry, but I likey. I give a +1 to bring him back to even.
Clearly, Hirshey is ignoring the biggest news of the day...naked pictures for Euro 2008.

Arsenal's craptastic season must really have you down when you're reaching for a lame post like this.
"But let me ask you this: was your mother's vagina Jewish?"

Good call, sending someone named after the cross to a Jewish school. Must be National Brotherhood Week.
No, ese, You only button the top one, not all of them.
Hope he likes the gefilte fish for lunch.
Oh that Beckman, what can't he do?
@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies:
Someone had to put it to bed.
@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: he's a hispanic jew?
Beckham's kid sure is a huge black man.
And is he on prison work-release in that picture?
Victoria Beckham is no longer a Spice Girl, she's now a Bitter Herb Girl.
@The Fan's Attic: With a cockney accent, its very confusing.
@gunga galunga gunga - gunga galunga: DJ Mbenga: not a Jew.
But guess who is: Hall of Famer Rod Carew!
/plzshootme
@Silky John-STON!: Mbenga like Beckham?
will baby cruz have peyas?
@DennyCrane: he converted?
@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: i thought all hispanics were catholic.
@Stev D: Make the playoffs.
was given his first traffic ticket for bending too much on a left turn.
All that Manischevitz will do that to you.
All Hispanics are catholic but some catholics are jewish.
So it would logically follow that some hispanics are jewish.
@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: Geraldo Rivera is nodding in agreement.
@ghostsoftheSCupcountry: This is Deadspin, right? Not TMZ?
@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: Dummy, that was supposed to be to @The Fan's Attic:
YES YES FUCKING YES!
CELTIC 2-RANGERS 1

He can come to my Passover, but he better not fucking touch Elijah's wine.
So, the kid is a Tottenham fan?
@Secret Identity: I'm not even Jewish and I know that's true.
