Yeah. I don’t really think of Donovan as a natural leader in any sense other than his ability on the pitch, but it seems like he worked hard to become on to a certain extent in the locker room.
Hmmmm, this piece seems a bit of a stretch, I don’t think LD willingly gave up the arm band nor do I think LD was a great “leader” , great player no doubt, but I think his leadership skill left a little to be desired.
I agree. But like the video says, he wasn’t born to be leader. It was something he truly had to work at. For him, it was all about what he did on the field with the ball at his feet.
exactly. plenty of players use that celebration from time to time. they also point to their crest on the front from time to time. a players celebration is the least important determining factor to who is a leader.
Pete’s just mad about the Fire being terrible, D Rose’s knees, Cutler’s care-free gunslinging and both awful baseball teams……..
would you call michael jordan a leader? if so, it’s most likely attributed to his ability to lead on the court (as LD has done). Jordan wasnt kind to rookie or anything, he didnt invite them over for tea and crumpets…….. he actually was a (publicly known) A-hole away from the public’s eye. he constantly trash talked, to players and fans on sidelines both (blind free throw ring a bell?). the point is, in-the-moment celebrating has little to do with being a leader or not.

Anyone else bothered by the unusual capitalization?
ur not the brightest are you? it’s a nod to LD… Landon Donovan……….

Let’s not forget, leaders don’t point to their name on the back of their jersey when they score a goal for their team. Just sayin’.
some do
Yep, bad leaders
so Steve Gerrard is a bad captain too? Check out his celebration below.
dumb comment Chicago Pete.
