Definitely more important for the "student-athlete".Sun Tzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435848395263035323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290940558322177176.post-37806358453827547372010-04-22T09:14:32.563-04:002010-04-22T09:14:32.563-04:00Right, right.

Apparently there's a bunch of talk about his mother dying when he was young, parents divorced, so he "doesn't understand how to treat women fairly" or some shit...blahblahblah...as if there is no difference between an explanation and an excuse. It's just gross. I've been using your line about how everyone should have to take a class on how to not be an asshole a lot with this guy.not undecidedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058430758679276980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290940558322177176.post-83984664338484453422010-04-20T22:21:25.102-04:002010-04-20T22:21:25.102-04:00That looks correct actually.
It's a little d...That looks correct actually. <br /><br />It's a little different with the Ben and Kobe Bryant scenarios than with Tiger Woods, because there were legal cases involved that weren't divorce related. These are harder to deal with because 1) they're rich and connected members of society and so they may be able to buy off their "sins", whatever they were, meaning we may never know that they harmed anybody, or not 2) There are commonly patently or obviously false accusations like the Duke lacrosse story, such that at least some charges against famous or powerful people are likely to be false just as they are often damning. I recall MJ had a paternity lawsuit or something like that that he won, didn't settle, which falls under this category. <br /><br />The trick with Roethlisberger is that he's been in this same situation before (plus some other goofy crap like the motorcycle accident). In which case I'm a little more inclined to believe that even if he's not guilty of a crime, he's a sleazebag of some major caliber. Or at least a very considerable idiot.Sun Tzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435848395263035323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290940558322177176.post-18710843997943934902010-04-20T21:29:01.959-04:002010-04-20T21:29:01.959-04:00Well put.

I haven't gone to look it up, so I guess I don't care that much...also not checking if I'm even close to spelling his name right.not undecidedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058430758679276980noreply@blogger.com
