Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2501789, member: 1992"] Go you good thing subsbligh ....! Like you I just cannot understand the unthinking,unreasoned belief that the ability to play a sport bestows on the better exponent some special powers ! It's only the first graders too as we never hear ' throw the book at him' about some guy who plays 8 divisions down who commits an identical offence. Kids regard these people as role models because the childrens parents regard them with such reverential awe. What most of the high and mighty fail to understand is that it is they themselves who raise these sports stars to rarified air. Most people who regard the sports star as some demigod do so because they live their life vicariously through these players . As a result of their jaundiced view of the player their ability to see them simply as a common person with all their faults and failings is seriously impaired. Hence the pain when their idol demonstrates the same frailty as all others. [/QUOTE]
