American soccer supporters -
If you ever bitched about a player choosing
@MLS
over a career path through Europe (Landon Donovan? Jordan Morris? Others …?):
Maybe pick up what Troy Aikman is putting down here: Nobody needs to please anyone else with their life choices
That’s total bullshit Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life? So you’re now the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck? And if his decisions don’t fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him? Guess that keeps you employed on FS1. Nice

Arriola is proven in
