Nick Rimando has, every year of his long and storied career, been passed over for the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award. This is true despite his earning every cumulative goalkeeping record in MLS history, including*:

Wins (223)

Shutouts (157)

Saves (1,756)

Minutes played (47,165)

Starts (522)

Rimando has consistently represented his family, his club, and his country in a manner that exemplifies honor and sportsmanship. The tenacity and professionalism he demonstrates as a player have earned him the moniker "Wall of the Wasatch" and, many across the league would argue, the position of greatest goalkeeper in the history of MLS. And rather than leave for what some would consider greener pastures, Rimando chose to make MLS his home. Let's ensure that a player like that, who has honored his league so faithfully his entire career, receives the league's honor in return. Sign this petition and let's call for Major League Soccer to rename the award the Nick Rimando MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award.
