Highly Notorious Monsters

You could also calculate the following: we have more exposure to those named athletes due to a heightened media. Also factor in that nobody covers the hundreds of hours of community service Drew Brees did for New Orleans. Thus, people prefer to watch athletes (or anyone famous) at their worst behavior because it brings them down to what we perceive to be a lower level than ourselves. This is why reality television is so big.

Also, remember that anyone can look like a jerk if portrayed in short snippets of only their worst moments. I could put together a media montage that makes Ghandi look like a total dick and one that does vice-versa.

You have friends in the NFL who are jerks. I have friends in mainstream MMA that I train with ("train" is a loose term meaning "I get beat up by") who are completely normal people who just so happen to possess extreme conviction and natural ability/physical parameters. I also know a couple who are jerks.

The point is that no one single group in society is solely one way. At the end of the day we are all humans (in good and bad moments) - we all possess the ability to be jerks in some instances and the complete opposite in others.

Hey Drew Sleeze is a jerk, don't kid yourself. I love how he tries to act horrified by the whole bounty scandal. The coach too, they have him on record telling the people involved "just have your stories straight". They made a big deal about him breaking Dan Marino's passing record, yeah well he did it by being an asshole and stacking points against other teams all year. Even if he wasn't involved in the bounty he still does enough dickish moves on his own.

And so what if he's done community service, he's only doing it for his image. Most of the time with celebrities that's all it is, and I've always said be wary of somebody who's too into charity work. A lot of times it's compensation for bad things they've done, I always ask myself what have they done that they're trying to make up for?

P.S. Ghandi was a pedophile, and is responsible for Pakistan being in existence.
