Not a big fan of the guy, but it sure is sad to watch a person with a lot going for them, destroy themselves with substance abuse. Talk about an unforced error...
I understand how you feel. For me, the nauseating and insufferable PC mentality at ESPN (which they seem damned intent on forcing down the throats of their viewers) damps that feeling of sympathy down for me.
I guess we see this in a lot of things.
I hate the New York Times, and every time they have a layoff or downsizing, I force myself to consider sympathy for the the people working in the printing/layout/environmental services, but I have to convince myself (and it isn’t that hard) that they are part and parcel of the entire thing. All probably rabid union members, too.
All working to undermine the country, even if they don’t see it that way...I do.
I guess I try not to take any satisfaction in it, but I don’t shed tears, either.
