You forgot Bill Clinton.

How was he rewarded? He was elected to a second term! What a pantload. What two adults do in private is nobody's damn business but their own, and when one of them is married and what they're doing is hanky-panky, lying about it is not only acceptable, it's downright gallant. Most Americans know this, hence the second term. -- Ken Fortenberry |

What do you think would be the true outlook for Kobe Bryant if convicted but sentenced very lightly? Probably not much. I could go on and on. But, I guess one can't expect any real rationality until people can put sports in it's proper perspective (yeah, it really is just a game...and likely a game *you* or *I* are not even participating in) and recognize that just because someone is on television doesn't make them some kind of superhero. -- rbc:vixen,Minnow Goddess,Willow Watcher,and all that sort of thing.

Schwarzenegger used steroids
I don't think they were illegal in body building at the time. But I believe it is illegal now, and I have not an inkling of doubt it's still quite widely used, though admittedly, I have no direct information. It's also illegal in professional cycling, for example, but is known to be extremely rampant there. Of course, there's the on-going question of which of the latest home run kings are on what drugs, Daryl Strawberry was certainly no poster child for baseball, Lawrence Taylor and many other football players have admitted widespread drug use, there have been a number of arrests of both NBA and NFL players with drugs, and I'm sure this list could be quite significantly enhanced to make the point that drugs can easily be found in the professional sports world (and of course, the non-professional world -- how many Olympians are caught for drug use?). and apparently was, and is, a sexual predator of sorts. He's rewarded by now the governor of California. California can be a very strange place. From what I've (skimmingly) read and heard, it's politics can be among the most strange parts of it. And who can account for what voters will do? I think it all starts at home. |
