Ok, Ok, THIS is my last post on the topicDivotMaker wrote:I guess we are entitled to our opinions, but how could Ricky Williams be any "less of a disgrace" than Bonds*? Ricky has failed drug tests FOUR TIMES. Bonds* has not failed a single one. While I do not approve of the way Bonds* tried to IMPROVE his game, he did just that using steroids. Williams has done NOTHING to improve his game and he had some of the most promising physical talent of any running back in recent times coming out of college. IMHO, Williams is a FAR BIGGER disgrace than Bonds* when you stick to the facts.matthewk wrote:
1) Yes, Williams is a lesser disgrace. Bonds is a disgrace for a whole lot more than just steroids. Look up a few posts wher I explained it. Williams let down hi teammates, not once, but twice (at least). That does put him in the Disgrace HOF, but only at the bottom rung. Bonds is a few steps up based on his body of work.
I was referring to them as a whole, not just as players. When you include all of Bonds' other failings he supasses Williams. As for being a disgrace to their repsective games, I'd call it a push.
This I completely agree with you on. Shades of grey used to be used a way of explaining diffuckt issues, but now it's used for just about everything. To me, there are still plenty of things that are just right or wrong, regardless of the excuses used to justify them.DivotMaker wrote:I have outrage for anyone who cheats to gain a competitive edge. Today, society has blurred the line between right and wrong so much that it is no longer a line, but a smudgy gray area. It is sad, but we have become a society that is becoming more and more permissive of cheating and bad behavior. I am almost afraid to see where it ends up....
