I don’t understand professional athletes sometimes. Chase Hilgenbrinck, a defender for the New England Revolution, has decided that being a superstar thousandaire soccer player wasn’t enough for him. He will be giving up his $36,000 a year contract to study the bible at Mount Saint Mary’s in Maryland.
Hilgenbrinck says he is not disillusioned with the game, but waiting for his career to run its time was no longer an option. “Trust me,” he told The AP, “I thought of that. I still have a great passion for the game, I wouldn’t leave for just any other job, I’m moving on for the Lord.” [...]
“At one time,” he said, “I thought the call might be professional soccer. I found my soul is hungry for something else.”
I really don’t understand but I guess the call of god is bigger than the call of cheap Boston groupies for Hilgenbrinck.
