Take Ali for example now he is a darling of the sports media but we all know this wasn't always so, getting back to Bonds I have yet to see clear examples of Bonds being an ass. He may have rub some teammates and the media the wrong way @ times but that in my opinion doesn't make him an ass.

Doggy answered your question. But I need to expound on Ali. He and Howard Cosell were great friends and their sparring was a publicity stunt (as were most of his run ins with the media.) Both sides know it and they both milked it.
