This is really interesting.We have music world scandals and Hollywood scandals , but the most hits I got on the Internet were related to sport scandals.What is it with sports stars and scandals.The Hollywood bunch happen to look like angels in comparison.
Any way here are a few more and we’re done I don’t want to bore you any more with yet a thousand more scandals.
- Jim Thorpe was the super athlete of almost every sport.He played a mean four-position football, accompanied by an awesome track and field performance. He was also a renowned baseball, basketball, lacrosse and tennis player, as well as a skilled golfer, rower, bowler, pool player and gymnast.A truly amazing athlete who was mistakenly stripped of his medals when according to the rules at that time, he had received payment for his performance as a minor league baseball player in 1909 and1910.As Jim argued he didn’t know any better as he was naive schoolboy at the time.The athlete was stripped of his medals even as he tearfully pleaded his ignorance and innocence to the whole world.
- Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekeich have the weirdest story all around. The players showed up one summer stating that they had traded wives and children along with the dogs.How weird is that! Although I can understand trading the wives,(I’ve wanted to do that to the old ball and chain a few times) why on earth would you want to do something like that to the children and dogs.
Can you imagine the emotional impact on the dogs?
HEHe, HEHE, Just being mean and catty
