In your opinion do you think it's better if an Athlete retires at the top of their game , or after they know they have lost their edge and washed up?
I am kinda mixed on this, I have seen Athletes that should have tossed the towel in and say I’m done.
I have also seen them say I’m done, when you think why they were doing great.
What is your opinion?
Using Fluther
