I would say Phelps but he sets a shite example with him taking drugs and all that. Nobody else to me has outshone others by that great a margin.


It wouldn't have been a big deal if he was a nobody. Trust me, more idols smoke pot than just him.

 

My personal favorite - Eddie Belfour. One of the reasons I played Hockey and was a goalie.


O yes, i have no doubts lots take illegal drugs and stuff. But, it certainly doesn't make it right. He is suppose to lead by example and not undergo illegal drugs.

Never would someone who took drugs could ever be the greatest athlete in my eyes. Its more than just the sport its about his image. His has most certainly being damaged.

Drug legality is simply an issue of the times. Marijuania should atleast be decriminalised and just like alcohol should be treated with counselling, not prison.

I would debate whether punching people in the head is better for your image than smoking grass is.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
