Football legend announces retirement after 22 seasons — Science update 97
Officials confirmed the announcement in a press briefing earlier today, citing months of behind-the-scenes negotiations.
The announcement came after a long period of internal deliberation and marks a significant shift for the industry.

In a statement, the spokesperson emphasized transparency and pledged an independent review of the decision-making process.
