Don't even get me started on the "we didn't land on the moon" controversy. There have been several things written on the internet explaining all the things disbeleivers claim "prove" we didn't land there (the whole flag thing is discussed to-I think it has some thing to do with the fact that space is a vacuum, or they put wires in the flag so it would stand out straight, I can't really remember). Yes Kobe Bryant did something morally wrong, something that thousands of people (men and women) do everyday. I am not saying it's ok, far from it, but I do think he's getting more persecuted for it because he's a sportstar. Yes he is a role model, and should be more aware of the affect of his actions, but parents should be role models, world leaders, teachers, and all of these people have been known to do things that were morally wrong as well. People are using this as a reason for not putting athletes on a pedestal, and I think they should find another reason. You can't say "Oh, well, athletes have groupies and cheat on their wives, so we shouldn't use them as rolemodels." Regular people do that to. The reasons for them not being role models should NOT be based on things that normal people do everyday
