As a sportsfan who was born in the 90’s, I have to admit that I feel I’m getting old these days. That’s sounds pretty stupid upon first reading, since I’m not even 20 yet, but if you look further into it, you’ll get what I mean. Recently, star athletes Brian Urlacher, Ronde Barber, and David Beckham all announced their retirement. Urlacher and Barber were two of me and my brother’s favorite football players growing up and so they’ve always been a part of my childhood. Even though I’ve never been a huge soccer fan, I used to play the sport and I think everyone should have respect for David Beckham, easily one of the best soccer players of all time. Seeing these three go, as well as Ray Lewis earlier this year, shows that a new generation of athletes is about to begin and that the old generation is about to walk out of the spotlight. Congratulations to all three of these guys careers. They all should be elected into their respective hall of fames. Thanks for all the great childhood memories guys.
