Pale ended his career in the US, Evander Holyfield boxed years past his prime and sustained -even more/ brain damage and there have been countless athletes who have ended their runs in less than stellar ways but for Ronaldo to move to Saudi Arabia a few weeks after having been benched for Portugal has to be a first. Now he'll be paid handsomely and will be used as the face for an otherwise uninteresting league but you have to think that soccer is really the only sport where players end their careers not on the bottom of the bench but as part of a a complete overhaul. David Beckham did it, I'm sure there are others but to leave it all on the field in the dessert can't be the way this storybook was supposed to end although $75,000,000 makes that a bitter pill which isn't that hard to swallow.
