People tend to 'hate' famous people for reasons they do not always grasp. You can't really hate someone on a deeply personal level without knowing them. Especially sports figures. But, people hate because people can't stand fake bullshit except when it applies to their own stupid lives when convenient.
I don't hate Alex Rodriguez, Michael Phelps or Charles Barkley. I call myself a fan of the Phelps and Barkley. But I'd like all of them even more if they would just come out and say the following (paraphrasing):
Alex Rodriguez
Hello I'm here to confess that I used
steroids for three seasons. I would have kept using them, but baseball
cut down on that stuff. I'm not sure what kind of steroids they were
all the time because we were always changing it up. I just asked for
the strongest shit they had.
My teammates......(tears well up
sort of)....they juiced too. We all juiced. I'm not going to
apologize for doing what they did. The pitchers took steroids, so all is even.
I'll play the game, you know, I'll act
sad when it means keeping a sponsor or not but screw guilt. The last
time I felt guilty about something is when I had Derrick (Jeter) speak
to my wife about knocking up Madonna. And another time, when I told
George Steinbrenner about my shriveled up balls, causing him to have a
stroke. I'm looking forward to 9 more years of huge paydays. For all of
my poor, desperate-for-a-hero fans who are crying about this: get a
life and enjoy the recession.
Michael Phelps
Fuck
yeah I smoke weed. That's how I keeps it real, dawg. I'm eating
thousands of calories a day during training: Puff, Puff, Swim. People
were impressed with my eight gold medals but what they do not realize
is that my true time to shine is on April 20 (4-20). That's when me and
my frisbee throwin' hippy friends get together for the Bong Olympics. I
can smoke .8 grams in one big rip. No camera's allowed of course but if
you guys saw the smoke bellow outa me you'd think I was a fucking
chimney. So yeah, fuck you Kellog's and whoever else has ended my
sponsorship paying gimmicks. I'm Michael Phelps. I own China. And I
smoke weed out of bongs, blunts and bowls. And by the way, I smoked
weed with Kobe and Lebron and the US womens gymnastics team. What's up?
Charles Barkley
I'll try anything a few times. I got a drinking problem. I smoke
weed. I put shit in my body, I don't think half of it has a name. I gamble too
much. Sometimes I feel the devil controls my thoughts. Sometimes I think the heavens control my words because I sound so damn good. And sometimes I think my hemeroids will be the death of me. And I eat fatty foods. I have opinions about things, lots. I'm funny
as fuck doing NBA coverage on TNT. Really fucking funny.
And ya know what, the state of Alabama would be better off with me as Governor in 2014. Yes we can, bitches.
