Why are we so forgiving!!! (Sports Fans)

What do you think of when you hear the name Pete Rose? What bout Joe Jackson? How about roger Clemens or Arod? All of these names probably have been heard in your lifetime once or twice, especially with the controversies that they have been a part of. Why do we always seem to forgive the idols that. We grew up watching and wanted to hit or pitch like. Isn't Roger Clemens supposed to be one of the best pitchers of this generation. I believe that he is one of the most dominant pitchers of this modern era. But because he misremembered about a b-12 and lidocaine shot that was said, “to be injected” his legacy is now tarnished for all to see and judge.

Why will we forgive him? Because sports fans are the most forgiving people in the world! If Clemens came back to he MLB and played for the Chicago Cubs, and the cubs won the world series because of his dominant pitching he would go down on the record books as the greatest pitcher of all time he would never have to buy a steak or drink on the city of Chicago foe the rest of his life. Wasn't Arod the guy that was supposed to clean up the sport of baseball, arid was supposed to beat Barry’s record and claim it as his own? Once arid claimed the title it was once again going to be pure. Arod may as well injected Bonds himself with the crap that he got himself into. Arod will still be forgiven if be hits another 50 home runs and tie Yankees won the World Series. That’s just how sports fans are. I wonder what Barry bonds think of Arod’s allegations. He is probably think now that his record is more pure than arose would be.

Let's take a look a different sport. Professional wrestling is a brutal as they come and you have to be in top physical condition to be any good( I now that this is fake and staged but you still need to be the best shape p your life) take a look at Hulk Hogan he was the greatest wrestler since Andre the giant. He always preached take your vitamins and protein and you'll be like the hulk. We come to fond put that he took steroids for years. What did the fans say? They looked the other way because it was great entertainment.

Jose Canseco admitted to steroids way before anybody else did and he got blackballed from the league. Shunned from teammates. He wrote a book that turned the MLB upside down he I'd now finally getting the respect that he deserves for trying to clean up the sport. (I also know that he was trying to get paid as well). Pete rose will never be I'm the hall of fame because of wit he did and said. It was wrong what he did but is it worse than tipping pitches to re opposing team to pad the stays is it worse than shaving points so thy you can get paid. Some where at some time all these actions that have been wrong will be forgiven maybe not publicly of by going onto the hall of fame bit people will forgive the Arod and Clemens of the world because that's why sports fans do. We forgive because we want our idols to be perfect and do no wrong. That's the American sports fan for you.
