What’s inside the heart of Clint Dempsey did not kill him. Instead, it made his soccer dream beat louder and stronger. So get out of the dang way. Dempsey is in a hurry.
“You’re going to push to the end. And fight as long as you can,” Dempsey said Wednesday. Soccer has always felt like a race against time for him, and now Dempsey knows he’s running out of time.
One of the greatest goal scorers in American history has run so hard for so long that his heart got sick. It could have made Dempsey quit the sport.
