Mls Names Mvp Award After U.s. Legend Landon Donovan

[PAOKNYC 4 Life]

I have nothing against Donovan, great player but naming the mvp award to his name?? Really? He only won it once.

I'm fine with it. As someone said in the reddit thread, Lombardi only won two Superbowls. With LD it's not just about the quality of his play, it's also about what he meant to American soccer and when. It's about personality and legacy.

Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth are still waiting for their mvps.

To be fair, NBA and MLB have a much larger and longer history than the MLS.

He was the first guy to take the chance to play here. He could have stayed in Europe forever or just returned at the end for a check like Dempsey.

This is deserved. Guy has done more for soccer in this country than anyone not named Hunt or Anschutz.

And he's the most recognizable American player.
