peacefultribe said:True. The US is in a bad place right now on many levels. I don't want to get political, but the moral and ethical middle ground doesn't exist for people with money and power. If you stand up for what is fair, you will be destroyed. It happens all the time. To somebody like Armstrong, teamwork means doing things his way. If it's not done his way, then you're not a team player. The 2009 Tour was a perfect example. There are corrupt people in power all over the US, especially in sports, who manage to convince people that if you don't go along with them, then you're negative, or a hater. I just don't understand how people don't see the reality.
This is true, unfortunately. On a mountain bike forum, the people who want LA to face justice are stupidly labeled as "haters". It's like they subconciously don't want the rules to apply to him, just everybody else.
The lies he repeats so often are believed as the gospel truth. Maybe that's the problem? How much truth is there really in any gospel, anyway? Maybe people are hard-wired to be stupid?
