Common themes this week

So I've been reading many of the blogs from class this week. I noticed a few people writing about the Super Bowl and on the Michael Phelps "bong" incident. There's always been talk of professional athletes being thrust into the position of "role model." I find it interesting that this discussion will constantly reappear on TV "news" shows year after year.

So what is your opinion?

For those of you who didn't watch the Super Bowl or see the Phelps photo here are the images:

    I know emotions were probably strung high during the game but that is no excuse for the way Harrison behaved in that situation and in my opinion it was extremely unprofessional.

    Why could not celebrities have same right as ordinary people do? I think they can. As long as they make sure what they have done won't be made public. Anyway, they are public people. Or idiot thing like Edison Chen, a super star in Hong Kong, whose sex picture were spreaded throughout the internet.

    First the football thing its football its a rough sport the guy tried to cut him off at the knees so he pushed him a little whats the big deal obviously none nothing really happened except a penalty. Its the Super Bowl thats the big deal. And Micheal Phelps is only 23 I know he wishes he could find the guy that took the pic.
