G-da,
What are the leadership skills that you think Landon lacks? What do you think he should be doing differently?

I just wish Beckham would go away. He hasn’t helped the team on the field one bit. Think about it. He’s a distraction. Let’s just get on with building a team that can win the MLS Cup. Piss off Brand Becks.

Here’s another really good article about it from the Galaxy web site.

You got that right, Colin.

I just wonder…does Beckham plan on apologizing to the team? Because he certainly owes them an apology, and then some.

I can’t wait until Becks is gone.

Agreed Colin, he is! And without all the posturing that often accompanies men who are TRYING to be BAMFs.

Yes Dana, that is exactly it — he is dealing with it like a man — he’s doing the right thing regardless of how it makes him look.

Maybe Landon WOULD have talked to Beckham face to face if Becks hadn’t used every excuse in the book to ditch the team…

Landon Donovan continues to be a BAMF.

I saw a short interview with Landon Donovan on the local news last night. The reporter asked him his thoughts about what he said in the book and he responded that he regrets not having talked to David Beckham, about the things that were bothering him, at the time. He said he will be talking to him, face to face, like he should have, like a man. That is not an exact quote, but it is what I understood from his answer.
Landon impressed the heck out of me! Good for him! Way to “man up” and take responsibility, Landon. I, for one, am proud of you!
