Okay, now let's see the outrage à la Kovalchuk.
Player goes home to play in an new and aspiring, but clearly inferior league for more money to become the new face of said league.
Dempsey didn't honour his contract with Spurs. Didn't exactly "break" the contract, because there was a transfer fee, but one would imagine SKA would have paid one too, had there been a player transfer agreement.
Regardless of the contract situation, leaving the best league alone was enough for fans to call Kovalchuk a "quitter", a "loser", and whatnot, and a "lockerroom-cancer" for leaving his teammates.
So when Dempsey plays his next match for the national team on US soil, should I expect rotten tomatoes thrown at him?
