![Landon Donovon]()
The 2024 UEFA European Championship, aka Euro 2024, is going on right now to determine which international team earns bragging rights as the superior country. It only comes around every four years, and although it's not quite World Cup levels of intensity, it's right up there for European supporters. Think Champions League but with World Cup teams/hopefuls from Europe.
Anyway, obviously the United States isn't represented here and will wait to grace the World Cup stage as automatic-qualifying co-hosts in 2026, but one of our nation's most accomplished players, Landon Donovan, is an analyst for Fox Sports. He's on the scene in Germany to break down the action. To put this next bit kindly, any consensus you'll find on the Internet will conclude that Donovan the broadcaster doesn't stack up with how good he was on the pitch in his prime.
And out of respect for what he's done for men's soccer in the U.S., we'll put this next bit kindly, too: Donovan went on TV today with one of the funkiest hairdos ever seen.

Poor fella. Every man has to make the decision to either shave their head, go the wig route, or invest in some sort of hair regrowth odyssey. Donovan is stuck somewhere in the middle of all these avenues and seems paralyzed on how to proceed. I empathize with the guy. However, the
adult content Wild West of Elon Musk's X/Twitter — pro tip: don't search "choke" without "rory choke" even if you're
writing about a U.S. Open collapse in real time — isn't nearly as kind as I or other men struggling with what do to about their hair falling out.

Alright. I think that'll suffice. I would normally say, "How about y'all put some respect on this man's name!?" In this instance, I get why Donovan is taking so much heat for his hairstyle. Or like, whatever that situation he has on his scalp would be considered.
We can kind of see what Donovan would look like with a shaved head. I think he'd look pretty damn good! Hopefully he goes that route in lieu of some sort of surgical intervention, because what he's rocking right now will be the subject of relentless scrutiny on the interwebs until he makes the call to mow it all off.
Ending on a positive note, at least it appears Donovan doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks of him. Do whatever makes you comfy, champ. Just wouldn't personally recommend
that 'do.
