Interesting post out of Bobby Boswell Land today:
The bottom line is that D.C. United offered me a great deal this past off-season! I just decided to turn it down for personal reasons. It was not a shot at D.C. United, or the MLS, or anyone, or anything. If I really needed or wanted that money, then I would have taken the deal. I will not sit here and bad mouth a league that has given me an opportunity to fulfill a dream and do what I love.
While the roses and kittens and rainbows are just pouring out of this post, I can't help feeling a little skeptical. Turning down a big deal when you're only making $30K a year, even for the love of the game? I find that hard to believe. I have to think that there was something in that deal (terms, length, etc.) that he didn't want to agree to, and this is an easy way of shifting the focus. Read D's post over at The DCenters for a good POV on the subject (especially the reference to Devon McTavish).
