Freddy Adu: What Happened to America's Pele?

Former Sports illustrated Soccer journalist Grant Wahl joins us live from New York to discuss his new seven-part podcast series from Blue Wire Podcats entitled, “American Prodigy: The Freddy Adu Story.” The guys dig deeper into the failure of Freddy Adu’s footballing career despite being compared to the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tiger Woods, and Brazilian legend and World Cup winner Pele. The guys debate whether the story of Freddy Adu could be considered a “tragedy” given how the American initially burst onto the scene as the face of US soccer and MLS in the early 2000s before David Beckham came to the States. Grant also gives us some hints as to what listeners can expect from the seventh and final episode of the series.Catch us every week on the "Locker Room" which you can download in the App Store and below:LOCKER ROOM (joinlockerroom.com) Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more debates:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u4QjEDuy94&t=180s
