After scoring a wonderful goal against the San Jose Earthquakes this weekend, Toronto FC midfielder Dwayne DeRosario “celebrated” by pretending to write himself a check – a symbolic gesture intended to bring attention to and garner sympathy for his impoverished existence.
Now, I realize that there is a recession going on and there is nearly 10% unemployment and I’ll concede that TFC is in the middle of a playoff race and that DeRosario may be well advised to focus his efforts there, but still – Dwayne is a undoubtedly a fairly above average player and deserves to be making much much more than 11 times the league minimum.
In an effort to do what little I can to help alleviate Mr. DeRosario’s plight, I implore all my readers (that means you, Steve) to chip in whatever they can and send it to Ontario Highlands Country and Raquet Club c/o Dwayne DeRosario post haste.
