People are people

Among the several responses I received for my latest SI column were several people quick to bash Landon Donovan. "How could you overlook him urinating at Jalisco Stadium?" they screamed. "Why do you not hold Landon to the same level as Oswaldo?" they begged to know.

I'm not going to sit here and defend Landon, again. I already did earlier. To some people, though, it doesn't matter what you say; you're not going to change their minds. Facts and statistics be damned; some people like to perceive things the way that best suits them, and if having someone who supposedly has shown distaste to Mexico as the face of U.S. soccer suits them, so be it.
