Sports heroes to Sports Zeros..

Sports heroes to Sports Zeroes...
  Ok, We all have seen it .. OJ's  Sports Icon to Criminal behaviour.. Barry Bonds - Home run Champion to disgraced steroids user , cheater. Tiger Woods , the Biggest Sports celebrity to , reckless womanizer, Lance Armstrongs- fantastic recovery from cancer to ultimate Bike champion to accused Performance enhancing drug user by his closest teammates. Is this what America is all about? Building up our Sports heroes, than finding chinks in the armor. We live in a society of negativity, we all like to see the greats or champions fall. That's why we root for underdogs.. We grow weary of perfection and excellence , we cant stand people or teams that are cocky and too confident. We should embrace perfection , but our culture looks for downfall . It seems its fun to see someone suffer , especially the rich and famous. Perhaps , it makes us feel better about our mundane , boring lives , to see people getting caught doing anything wrong is what we live for.. That's why we have all these nosy TV , shows and mags that print , fabricate , exaggerate stories about our heroes. At times , we feel for these stars , but most of the time we love the pain and suffering these celebrities feel. The price for stardom, Is it worth it? For me, I would trade places to live that glamorous life. Even for a short time, because just to have the feeling of power and status and doing as we please without any concerns about money or time. It must be a high , none of us will ever feel. We can dream and imagine , but if we never walked those steps , we can only fantasize about such feelings. Instead , As Americans , we build up our Sports heroes , celebrities , and when they feel so secured and untouchable , we break them down, and say " I knew it, I knew they were dirty.." Its like we find peace by someone Else's down fall. For example . The Lakers losing or getting swept, or Patriots losing the Superbowl, destroying the Perfect season. Mike Tyson getting knocked out by a nobody! We all want to be the ones to say I knew it. We hate surprises , but then again we root for them especially if a team or player has garnered so much success. America Loves success , as long its not excess. We hate losers , but we can only tolerate a winner or Champion for short periods of time. The 1985 Chicago Bears , Rocky Marciano's 6 year reign as heavy weight Champion, and countless others, serve as emblems of the American Dream , but once you become a dynasty , We Americans , turn our backs and root for the underdog..
