Nice article. It seems no one is safe from the wrath of the media. It might already be too late even if everyone does forgive him & stops the bashing. The damage has been done.

Arenas’ problem is not that he had a tough upbringing (many pro sportsmen have without getting into trouble) or that he was unfairly treated (in any other job he would have been sacked and frozen out of the industry forever on the spot)…his problem is that he thinks he’s above the law – which is the same for everyone in the USA.

Should we feel bad that he might face jail time for…doing crimes?! He got ahead in the NBA because he was funny…witty…intelligent even…as you mention he was a blogger on NBA.com – he had a following…he was a role model. With this comes great responsibility, and Agent Zero messed up.

Would I trust him near me? Sure. Would I like to have a drink with him? Definitely. Do I feel bad for him? Not one bit.
