    Re: I GOY really BAD news about Doug Hamilton

    OH man my condolences.. MAY God rest his soul. Amen

    I really hope he didnt take the loss to hard, sounds like he got stressed out about the loss. Man the pressure that these guys have to go through to have the teams perform. Probably took its toll. That was a gut wrencher.

    Shit!!

    Re: I GOT really BAD news about Doug Hamilton

    Just to add my feelings to this thread. . .

    This is a very sad day for his family, the Galaxy family, and all MLS fans everywhere.

    Doug Hamilton may have been criticized many many times on this site, but this is a man who helped shape the development of soccer in SoCal, and by extension the U.S. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.



    On a slightly more shallow note, I hope they at least give him a plaque at the HDC, maybe have the G's where a black armband for him.

    my condolences.

    Teletica story adds more details now. I believe it says the flight took off at 6:33 p.m., then reported a problem and landed at 6:58. And Sampson was in no condition to comment.

    My deepest condolences to the Hamilton family.

    Topper, please open a well censored condolences thread that can be saved and then passed to the family so the now five-year old son can someday read that his father's life had an impact on the entire Galaxy family.

    And those who post vitriol and hateful comments at a time like this should be banned from BS forever.

    my condolences to his family and the galaxy organization:
    Costa Rica's Nacion had a quick story on it....the plane was about 45 minutes in the air before the unfortunate tragedy:

    San José. Doug Hamilton, Presidente y Gerente General del equipo de futbol Galaxy de Los Ángeles falleció esta noche tras sufrir un paro cardiaco en el vuelo de regreso a los Estados Unidos.
    Sofía Valverde, Coordinadora de Comunicaciones de la aerolínea TACA, confirmó a la televisión local que Hamilton empezó a sentir problemas cuando el vuelo llevaba unos 45 minutos de haber salido de Costa Rica con destino a Los Ángeles.
    "La tripulación del vuelo inició el protocolo necesario para atender la emergencia y emprendieron el regreso a Costa Rica", informó Valverde.
    El equipo de la Major League Soccer (MLS, EE.UU.) se encontraba en Costa Rica tras disputar ayer un encuentro ante el Deportivo Saprissa por los cuartos de final del Torneo de Campeones de la Concacaf, el cual terminó con ventaja del Saprissa 3 - 2.

    When did he become GM? Can't find it online. Was it from the start?
