Cops Arrive, Freddie Bids Adeiu
I hope the folks at Campbell's Soup don't hear about this:
When there is a crowd around the keg, Rob Fitzgerald found out the hard way that 15-year-old soccer phenom Freddy Adu's cup comes first.
Standing in line for a beer at the keg at what was reported to be a women's lacrosse party on Dickinson Avenue earlier this month, the freshman letters and sciences major was surprised not only to see Adu, but to be pushed aside as Adu's cup was rushed ahead of his.
"I was at the keg and someone was like, this is Freddy Adu's cup, get out of the way," said Fitzgerald, a freshman letters and sciences major.
Later that night when the police broke up the party, he helped usher Adu to safety and helped the two of them avoid an underage drinking citation.
"The cops came and we were like, 'Get Freddy Adu out of here,' and we hopped the fence with him," he said.
D.C. United and MLS spokesmen were predictably tight-lipped when asked about the incident. Which I guess means that the young Mr. Adu is just like other kids his age.
Thanks to Whiskey Tango, Andrew Racine's new hangout, for the excellent cross off the corner kick.
