Can't Hold a G Down

Hey everyone. Tomorrow is the day new Futurama episodes start coming out. I have just downloaded Toy Story and Toy Story 2 to get ready for Toy Story 3! What a great series of movies, but I hope they do not go past the 3rd one. The U.S. just got into the round of 16 at the World Cup and so American will continue to care about soccer. I like playing soccer, but watching outside of a drunken stupor or without a massive group of fans with me isn’t really appealing. The game is just not fast paced enough to maintain my interest.
There will be so many sports I shove my kids into, but I hope they never grow up emulating certain “icons of sports” that have lived sub-par lives off or on the court. Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, and… (ok I didn’t have a baseball icon when I was a kid) were people that you could look up to beyond their natural talent and determination to make money. Here’s a list of players I don’t think deserve to be idolized at all even if they are the greatest of all time:
Tiger Woods: Cheats on his wife consistently
Kobe Bryant: Cheated on his wife
Alex Rodriguez- Steroids
Mark Macguire- Steroids
Reggie Bush- Accepting money from USC and dooming them

Meaning of G
Another problem with our new age sports stars as role models is that they have problems with many of the more noble characteristics we used to take for granted in society. Players in all sports refuse to play if not being paid ridiculous amounts of money or being given enough play time (Terell Owens). They don’t care about the team winning or losing, just their own benefit. There is no loyalty, only greed. A player that exemplifies this problem with our era of sports is….

LeBron James!

Lebron James is not G because he doesn’t have the needed qualities to symbolize the best in athletes. None of the other people on this list are in their commercials as they do not either. Loyalty to the game you are meant to love, your family you are meant to love, and your team that you are meant to love, show which players have”G”. James giving up in Game 6 because the Boston Celtics were beating them and then not saying whether or not he will stay with Cleveland to get his coach fired. That’s pathetic.

If bored at work, why don't you take a look at these:
