Monday night there he was, a career athlete on the fringe of sports sitting front and center on a stage in Manhattan talking to an audience that included the CEO of Lenovo amongst other dignitaries and business leaders…a soccer player whose relevance to most of the world just 60 days ago was negligible, but who …
