[QUOTE="deedoubleyou, post: 132449473, member: 1621419"] Well then let it go lol. You will absolutely not change my mind on this, and do you want to know why? Because I have been 100% against this very thing since the mid 90's when it became more popular to carry on this way. Sometime back then the media just decided sports figures are role models and therefore have to be held to certain higher standards and that means more punishment that others dont have to suffer. Dude no way in hell will I ever buy into that kind of dribble and think its fair or should even be legal lol!
