This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

Three Children

Retirement status / contradict tag

Untitled

opening paragraph implies Franco is retired, later paragraph goes on to say that he has not announced his retirement and is still a free agent --Thanatosil 16:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, so I modified the introduction paragraph to say that he hasn't announced his retirement yet. Canjth, 28 July 2006 20:46

As of today it still says that he hasn't announced his retirement. In the right sidebar it says his final game was in 2005, is he still deciding whether or not to retire?
