I'll be honest with you it's only because i get the impression that Donovan is a nice guy in real life, he always seems so cheerful and friendly, and it is good guys like him that you sort of have to feel bad for when their career is ending. It doesnt really have anything to do with him being a skin for one season, it's just like "dang, he was such a good guy, it's a shame his career has to end like this".

let me paraphrase what Ken Shamrock said about people hanging on too long, he is talking about fighting, but you can easily apply his words to any professional sport. It's probably the greatest thing i've ever heard when talking about someone's career going on when they are past their best. He said when somebody is a champion in the sport, how are they supposed to know when it's over, when the injuries don't heal and the losing streak doesnt end. How are you supposed to know when to give up when your whole career has been about working through the injuries and not giving up!

Donovan has had to deal with injuries and stuff his whole career, and now that he is at the end, he, like many others, will have a hard time admitting that is is coming to an end..
