Thanks, morey. I agree 100% but have been afraid to say so since Lance is so godlike to people in our little hobby. I admire him as an athlete, but I don't think I would enjoy spending any time with him outside of a cycling context.
Morey and hk94, thanks for saying this. I have thought the same thing for a long time but, like you said, he's so "god-like" to so many people, they act like it's blasphemy. I agree that the same traits that make him a champion athlete (being a self-centered asshole ), probably make him not a very good husband/boyfriend/friend. After reading his autobiography where he talked about his fight with cancer and first tour, I ended the book thinking that I admired his accomplishments, but wouldn't walk across the street to meet him in person. |
