Phelps is not a cheater. He shouldn't have to publicly apologize to his million facebook fans. In fact, if he wasn't such a teenage heart throb, image and role-modelness wouldn't matter nearly as much. But since he is, he's worth millions in sponsorships to the tween market. Doubters like Kellogg's who rescinded their contracts will be back in 2012.
A-Rod cheated baseball and baseball fans. He also cheated on his wife. Let him keep his $28M annual salary and if the Yankees can squeeze a public apology out of him, that could actually help his image and reputation.
P.S.: I'm currently blogging live from Boston, where marijuana has recently been decriminalized and A-rod is detested.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely - I agree. So he took a bong rip? I don't see how that would help him win anything. Of course, given his diet I can not imagine his munchies.
