I actually got this idea the other day when I was watching sportscenter. Both Michael Phelps and Alex Rodriguez had been featured in stories about their current situations. Michael Phelps had been caught in a picture smoking weed and A-Rod taking steroids from 2001 to 2003. I’m not really a big fan of either guy so I didn’t care too much at first. Then I started to think about their situation and how much there lives will change. Both of these men are probably in or around the pinnacle of their careers and are popular beyond belief. Now all of a sudden people hate them, people have lost respect for them. Fans are abandoning their heroes and their favorites, and in turn fans feel like the players and their heroes have abandoned them.
