Then they don't have to worry about hype or suspensions being blown up by the media. Ill. Fred is absolutely right. Yan Besner, Montreal, Que. Fred, I agree. While it is no secret that the media has been known to go overboard, they cannot be blamed for other people's actions.
Every athlete is responsible for their own words and actions.
It's time for some of these pampered, overpaid athletes to grow up. Ga. These guys financially would not be where they are at without the media. Mass. The simple fact is that the media blows everything out of proportion, overcovers non-issues, and concentrates on negative issues. John Rocker, Carl Everett, and others that make mistakes are first page news while Lance Armstrong is always second page material. Probably because Lance does not complain about the media.
