Cheating while riding a fucking bicycle does not equal raping children. Thanks.

[hoagie]

Uh ok

[SunshineDrummer]

I'd love to see how they made that connection.

 

Have they started blaming him for Newtown yet? 

 

People are idiots.

The cheating while riding a bicycle reference seems to have gone over my head.

[concert andy]

I think the comparison is on the cover up portion of the story.  along with the lies and the bullying.

[TEO]

Oh, a Lance Armstrong reference?  

[TEO]

I was thinking of the footballer with the fake girlfriend.  Wrong thread'd   

 

   

[moed_over]

Lance Armstrong is still quite the asshole though. 

[TEO]

Yeah, not a fan of his.

[TheDHJ]

No denying that Chase. I just felt the above comparison was ludicrous and couldn't express that on FB.

[concert andy]

I also think the comparison has to do with the lives of people Joe Pa and Lance trampled to prop them up.

 

 

DHJ, I agree, but just trying to point out there may be similarities in whole, but the actions are no where near the same.

 

Fraud vs rape.  (not the same thing)

I agree, but Armstrong has a lot to make up for.

 

All those innocent people's reputations he destroyed to cover up, all the money he took under false pretenses from sponsors, all the people that should ACTUALLY have been acknowledged as the winners of the races... His apology doesn't mean shit until he does something for those people.

 

And, he should be prosecuted for perjury, if possible. He should get jail time for what he has done.

Why not?

Tuisosopo is a cool-sounding name. Say it with me.

 

Tuisosopo.

Why not?

I don't discuss controversial topics on FB as most of my contacts are of a professional affiliation.

Agree, but I have heard the statue of limitation is up on many of the crimes that he could be prosecuted on.

 

I did hear many of the people who he sued or settled out of court with will be coming after him.

Nobody ever told me you are smarter than the average bear!

Huh???

I watched his Oprah interview with interest.    I don't know why, but I actually feel a bit sorry for Lance.     This doesn't mean I condone what he's done at all, I know his actions and behavior has decimated people, and has a massive negative impact on himself, family, friends, associates, and even large organizations.   And for that, he will probably face years of lawsuits.       I just find it uncomfortable to watch somebody dig himself into such a deep hole, and then have it all played out in public like this.     I don't put him in the same class as, say Adam Lanza...who should truly fry in hell.         

[Depends]

I have not followed this story, but why does he feel the need to come clean?

 

Can't he just run away, and not say anything?  Does he think he will get endorsements again?

 

The time to come clean was a decade ago.  He has hurt many people since then.

[MeOmYo]

one thought is that he would like to compete again, which he was banned from.

[concert andy]

Before coming out, he was recently banned from even running in marathon's.

[unbroken_chain]

Huh???

 Seems to me she implied you were a rather intelligent large, hairy, homo.

[TheDHJ]

Oh then she'd pretty much be right! Always room for 8!

[unbroken_chain]

I thought (prolly wrongly) that Oprah shelled out MM's for his FunCashin.

[unbroken_chain]

Oh then she'd pretty much be right! Always room for 8!

This is an equal opportunity room, it's all good.

 

I'll be bangin some brahd while her husband watches later.  They have beer.

The comparison would only be valid if Armstrong had a bicycle with no seat that he made young boys ride.
