Jesse Lumsden: Football player, Band-aid, Hipster.
It turns out that the CFL is just too mainstream for young Jesse. After realizing it's large fan base, Lumsden announced his retirement from the league.
" Bobsled had an underground appeal that I couldn't pass up. I still wanted to be active in the sporting world, but I didn't want to conform with the rest of the country." He told the media on Monday.
Lumsden left the league with 1,842 career rushing yards and 10 touchdown after playing with the Ti-cats and the Eskimos. He also spent last season on the Stampeders practice roster.
This is not the first time he has shown this non-conformist attitude as he stayed away from the trend of health in 2008 and 2009. With Hamilton in '08, Lumsden injured his ankle and only played in 9 games, although he did play well in the games that he did appear in, running for 584 yards. When he came to Edmonton, The team his father played for, he acquired a season ending injuring on the first offensive series.
