Many big stars came out of football for reaching a ripe age. It's normal, it's the natural course of things.
But I can't understand why the two of these chose to go to sub par teams just for marketing and money purposes. They could have retired and live a happy life gracefully already as multi millionaires. The era's end was kind of spoiled by that for me.
And it feels too much of a sellout now. I think this will also make it harder for future generations to appreciate what we had because it's all marketing, no heart now.
We can't judge them about their choices because for sure they have other personal considerations that we are not seeing here. Of course, as a fan or follower, you would hope that they won't choose owed to money alone. However, at the end of the day, it is their life and we don't now what they are going thru why opting for such route. So for me, I don't incriminate them for choosing that path, because I don't know their considerations or struggles in life.
