Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard Endears Himself to L.A. Galaxy Fans With 500 Beers

Steven Gerrard was officially introduced to L.A. Galaxy fans at half time of Saturday's match, but he had actually already taken care of introducing himself to the fans earlier during the day during pre-game festivities. Did he give some kind of speech or something? No--he spoke in a language that every tailgating fan understands.

He bought them beer--lots of beer.

As a way to say hi to the fans and introduce himself Gerrard bought 500 beers for fans tailgating before Saturday's game. His logic behind the move was pretty straightforward:

Supporters are the lifeblood of any club and I know that with your support we'll challenge for the MLS Cup again.

As a token of appreciation for what you do for the club, I wanted to provide you with some refreshments for the 4th of July. I look forward to meeting you at tonight's match.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA athletes need to take a page out of Gerrard's book. As much money as they all get paid it wouldn't hurt any of them to drive a beer truck up to a tailgate party and tell everyone to have fun.

Than again, anyone that gets in trouble with the law or gets in an accident would probably sue said athlete.
