why folks turn on athletes

i know that Michel Vick, Marion Jones and some other athletes have made mistakes,but it doesn't mean they shouldn't no longer be embraced and remebered for the good things they did. I saw where Michael Vick's old High school is pulling his Jersey from the glass or that the Atlanta Falcons are going after twenty million dollars in bonus money for him and I ask why? His High School benefited from him being there and he is known there and you can't try to erase his impact and history there away. just like it was dumb of the Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blake to go after bonus money. i mean Vick brought fans to the stands and earned that franchise tons of money and believe me there are younger fans of his who will reap for Michael Vick regardless. marion Jones having to turn over his awards is dumb because to go back in time is just looney to me. and also going after her money as well. i mean this ain't Murder. now Michael vick's charges are serious but not where he can't come back and make a even bigger impact. when i see a modern day athlete catch a case or go through some drama, you see how corperate things truly are and you can be one Mistake from being dropped like a bad habbit. i feel that is more directed toward the Black Athlete personally. i'm not making excuses,but there is a double standard and folks do profit regardless and will continue.
