Drinking and smoking?! I only have one Academy kid to screw up at JI. Wait...are you saying there's drinking and smoking at other schools?! No Academy kid would drink or smoke, surely.
I wonder if, say, Clint Dempsey get's rusty when he plays for the US national team. He's getting worse coaching and his teammates aren't as good. Sure he's representing where he lives but I doubt that's very rewarding.
And for all you concrete thinkers out there, I am in no way comparing myself to Klinsman (although I do have a lovely smile) or (God knows) James Island to the USMNT. It's an ironic allegory.
