Re: Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession
Just like crap music or politician(s), I just try to turn the other way. Armstrong getting (still) platforms to talk about cycling is a plus to him, bad press/good press, all the same. I am sure he's getting some Benjamins out of these types of public appearances, even podcasts. Sure, he'll get scrutinized, but he'll get some people on his bandwagon. In some ways it's like the Trump effect. Yeah, he'll alienate some, but there's always a 'proud base,' no matter what he does. And like Trump, it's not so much the individual, it's the hysterical media that still gives him a platform to have his voice heard.
