Dark day for United fans

By: jon | May 2nd, 2008

Well, I guess that’s a little more dramatic than it needs to be. But, it appears that Ben Olsen is done for the year, and possibly forever.

Since Ben is my all time favorite player for DC, this kind of eats. And I’m sure you all love him too, because, how couldn’t you? He’s the motor in the midfield, the heart, and the experience. Add losing Josh Gros from complications with concussions, this team has suffered a bit of loss of every kind.

Then again, he could heal, and be back. I hope so, but I’m not holding my breath.

    Oh man, this sucks. I love Ben Olsen, and not just because of his beard. I really hope he returns! DC isn’t the same without him.
