Disgraced Sports Figures

Pistorius did nothing wrong

How has tiger disgraced himself? A couple duis? That's nothing.

Oh and anyone who's not a virgin or a faggot thought he was the man for that sex scandal.

>>76212511
DUI's just look bad cause Tiger played golf. If he was in the NFL or NBA he would just be another player

he banged some hookers and drove drunk who gives a fuck, shits standard

>>76212572
It would be easier to excuse if he hadn't consistently sucked for 8 years. Also, it seemed like the moment the initial 2009 incident broke, he was never the same again.

>of course the Aussie thinks that shit is cool

>everyone focusing on the DUI

I think his fall from grace was, obviously, back in 09 when the affairs broke out, he went to a hospital, got divorced, and never did anything in golf again

this is just kind of a reminder that his life still isn't back together

>>76212572
Tiger used to be the richest athlete in the world. He's lost all of his endorsements because he's an idiot asshole who sucks at golf.

>>76212615
The other sports take it seriously, especially the NFL. You're contract is non guaranteed so if you are on the shit list and not contributing as much as the team wants, they'll use it as a reason to cut your ass if you're not worth it.

But yes, definitely you are under the microscope as a golfer. Especially Tiger Woods, fucking tabloid fodder. Tiger makes the news for his fuckups and injuries more than his actual play. I mean, why would Gatorade or Nike want this bum promoting their product?

>>76212572
Tiger was punished excessively by the golf community. I can't think of another athlete who faced so much scrutiny for DUIs and affairs. Actual murderers who played in the NFL received less backlash from the media.

>>76213327
Exactly what this guy says right here

>>76212615
>>76213511

You're forgetting the biggest thing - his endorsements.

He was one of the most recognised, and most endorsed, athletes in the world. Nike, EA, Gillette, I'm sure tons of others.

His brand was a squeaky clean image. A family friendly image, that families were happy to have their kids look up to. They were perfectly fine with their kid buying the latest Tiger Woods™ golf game, or any Nike product advertised by Tiger.

Of course, DUIs, affairs, gambling, and possible domestic violence changed all that. His brand was no longer squeaky clean. He wasn't valuable to sponsors anymore. Because mums across America didn't really want little Timmy looking up to Tiger anymore.

>>76213511
Punished? He's not on a team and the PGA didn't fuck him. He's punished himself by playing terribly.

>>76212511
OJ
Hernandez

>>76213644
At least Barkley said he himself is not a role model.

Are you kidding me? I'm going to guess you weren't alive for the OJ trial.

That shit was on the network news DAILY and dominated cable for a year and a half. It got more coverage than the Oklahoma City bombing and Bosnian war combined.

It was fucking nuts

>>76213978

This, not to mention he was hailed as a hero who won everything, survived cancer, and cheated death, but now he's just the guy who cheated

Ronda Rousey

Hers is compelling because it occurred totally within the confines of the sport. She didn't fuck up or get in trouble, she just flat out got her ass beat after years of being a cocky bitch and everyone sperging out over how she was literally invincible.

I disliked him because everyone rooted for him because he was good. That's it. Its a weird thing in golf where they always root for the opposite of a underdog. He was a great golfer, maybe the greatest I dunno, but it was annoying how the whole sport was about him. Even Lebron didn't hog that much of his sport. Also there was the "first black golfer to X" though it wasn't as prominent. Honestly I don't care either way anymore. Its kinda stuff to hate on athletes for reasons like you hear about them too much.

>>76217177
Lmao there's a new king in college every other semester. I went to Fresno state while Derek Carr was there and he was the biggest name on campus at first, then he got over it after his first year, then it was some other dude, so on and so forth. It was a revolving door really. There is no falling from grace at college you won't be remembered 2 years down the road. Carr graduated just 4 years ago and all That's left is a frame of him in the administration office.

It's Tiger because while countless others did far worse, his downfall came out of nowhere while he was the richest, most famous, most successful athlete in the world at the time. Remember how squeaky clean his image was before it happened?

Matt ryan after the super bowl. He disgraced himself beyond repair lmfao

Well no shit he's dumb

>>76217594
Lmao sorry college wasn't this grandiose thing high school made it out to be or that you probably lead yourself on to think it was. Carr was the greatest thing to happen to the mountain west since his brother and he's already been basically forgotten.

True, on the official records. But I don't think that fans consider him "worse" than other EPO offender like Heras, Landis, Rasmussen, Riis, Ullrich etc.
He was superior to all, EPO or not. Also, he did gather more than 500 mio $ for cancer research.
The only only drug-free cyclist anyway was Carlos Sastre

>>76216999
You're really unde-selling or not understanding just how ridiculous her hype was. She was considered the undisputed best in the world. She had movies in the works, talk shows speculated how well she'd do vs male athletes and all time greats. She was the figure for feminism. She was the face of her sport and then she got exposed as a FRAUD. She didnt get injured, she wasn't old. She fell from grace because people finally saw the real version of her.

>>76213511
Not so much by the golf community. You'd think he'd be barred from tours if he was in fact a top 10 golfer nowadays?

He is however unmarketable now. His image used to be: GOAT golfer, family man, squeaky clean, pleasant and modest.

Good luck marketing a drunken whoremongerer who doesn't even play golf anymore.

I can't even imagine his alimony bills.

>>76214446

As an Inter fan, I can confirm that Adriano is not even in the same LEAGUE as the athletes in OP's post in terms of fall from grace. Adriano's vices prevented him from reaching his full potential. That's pretty much it.

OP is talking about affairs, paedophiles, criminals and FUCKING MURDERS.

The two are not really comparable.

>>76212511

This is a pretty good list OP.

I would rank these, based on how famous the celebrity is and the grievance of the crime, as follows:

1) OJ Simpson
2) Oscar Pistorious
3) Lance Armstrong
4) Tiger Woods

a distant 5) Joe Paterno (most people inside the US don't know who he is; almost everyone outside the US doesn't know who he is. Besides, his crime was covering up Jerry Sandusky, who was the real criminal and who even fewer people know.)
6) Marion Jones

I definitely think more people know about Aaron Hernandez than Marion Jones, and what he did was much worse.

I might also put Kobe Bryant on the list, although he did come back from his scandal. At the time of the rape accusations in Colorado, though, he was vilified.

Another one you could add is Tonya Harding, she also lost it all, became a villain, and was banned from professional skating. I might put her 3rd in the list above, her crime was a big deal at the time and she totally lost everything. Tiger Woods lost a bunch of endorsements, but he's still worth over $700 mm.
