Spanish Soccer Player To Play For Free Next Season

As my username suggests, I am ab Athletic Bilbao fan. Personal bias aside, I think this is a pretty classy move, one that's all too rare in the world of sports.

What Aupa said above. VERY classy move. Stuff like this gives me hope that not all sport is fucked by greed.

May Joseba have his best season ever!

I'd be willing to bet he will get a good severance/retirement package out of it, though.

Though, honestly, this guy is smart. He knows that he has made himself a lot of endorsement deals now, and plus, as mentioned, he gets to stay with his team. And a classy move, too, bravo to Joseba Etxebarria.
