O.K.,

Now that I have calmed down I have to say that I have disliked Landon Donovan for a while.

2. The Urination Incident In Mexico
Back in 2004, Landon relieved himself on the field at Estadio Jalisco while preparing for an international match.

I can understand why this would make people not like Donovan as a person. It was a disrespectful move by all accounts. As such, I think we should all criticize him as a player.

Honestly, as a follower of the sport, I think that any person who would do such a despicable thing should be thought of as no more than a menace to the game and a marginal player. Think about all of the things he could’ve done, like getting arrested for drinking and driving, sexual assault, or being at a hotel with transvestites. Those things certainly would’ve been much less harmful to his image.



I may forgive him in the near future, but even I found that a bit distasteful.
