Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

There was a post by someone (either in this thread or the other one) saying if they were Michael Jordon and someone said you sucked, that they would just walk away laughing. Just walk away and laugh - why do you guys care about what someone else thinks.

Okay, we have to straighten out this line of thought. If I walk up to Michael jodan and tell him, he sucks at basketball, it has absolutely no impact on his cash flow or reputation. If a a well known poker author writes in a feature article in a nationally published magazine that a poker book is wrong, that has a negative impact on sales of that book and the reputation of the writer and publisher.

Micahel Jordan can shrug it off because it doesn't matter, it makes no difference what I think or say about his game. Let someone that has some influence in sports cut on him, someone that can influence his sponsers and cost him an endorsement and see if he rolls over and takes it.

Compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges, please.

Who was the athlete that got in huge trouble for talking bad about his teamates? I think he got fired, traded or suspended or something. I don't folow sports but please don't use spoiled rotten, dope head professional athletes as models of professional behavior.

Professional athletes make David and Mason look like angels.
