After soldiering through two and a half months of a pandemic, what did we do to deserve this, another TV network giving Armstrong airtime to share childhood pictures and his inner-most feelings as he retells his enduringly reprehensible story?
ESPN of course has the right to do whatever it wants with its documentaries, although its SportsCenter franchise might want to remember to add a little journalism as it promotes the next and thankfully last Armstrong installment.It’s a proven fact the guy cheated, lied, ruined lives, then lied some more. Where’s the myth?
What they ignore is that Armstrong never was just another rider, or athlete. He was far more than a sports hero. After beating testicular cancer, he transcended sports and became the world’s most famous cancer survivor. He was an international icon, bringing his too-good-to-be-true story of survival and triumph to schools and banquets and hospitals, where patients read his books for inspiration as chemo dripped into their arms.
This was a ruse for the ages, and programs such as Sunday night’s actually help to keep it going, simply by allowing him to show his face on a reputable sports network, and talk, and talk, and talk.
SkatingLesson cbrennansports I’d like to read it but your reporter (cbrennan) blocked me. Nice.
cbrennansports There are SO many stories about him being a major bully back in his Texas hometown!
cbrennansports With no care of Armstrong, who the hell are you? What makes you qualified to comment on this or anything for that matter? Have an athletic cell in your body? A typical sports commentator that’s simply an armchair mouthpiece! You/colleagues need to keep comments to yourselves.
cbrennansports What even prompted ESPN to run this piece of crap?!?
cbrennansports I FOAF tipped me off how Lance was doping. I wrote about it-and in the first 5 minutes of the Oprah interview it was practically word for word what I wrote when she asked him how he did it. Lance is the worst of the worst.
cbrennansports No one is forcing you to watch it. Go read a book if you don’t like it. Ironic that someone who spends so much time covering the Olympics has all of a sudden found a spine. The IOC is the most crooked organization in sports. Maybe push for doing away with the Olympics...
cbrennansports “Enough is enough” ....says the person who (again) has written a full-page article pertaining Armstrong 🙄
cbrennansports What I've learned during 'these troubling times' is I can live fine w/out sports, sports' overpaid stars, and perhaps most sportswriters. Wear that.
cbrennansports Then why are you wasting your time on writing this piece? Looks like you are even recycling old material there. Clearly you still can't get over it.
cbrennansports Meanwhile how's USA Gymnastics doing? USA Swimming?
cbrennansports Agree!!!
cbrennansports It’s easy to process his PED use. Sonos his denial of it. But the way he tried to ruin the lives of those who accused or investigated him is something I couldn’t get past.
cbrennansports Seems that cheating and lying, and putting the burden on others, and accusing everyone are 'tendance' these days.
cbrennansports Вы открыли мне глаза
cbrennansports not Armstrong but 45 is...
cbrennansports I pray this pandemic leave this out great country soon . Hit me up so we can pray together 🥰
cbrennansports I forgot all about him which is what every one should do. He does not deserve anyone's time
cbrennansports His motto has always been 'win at all costs.' Were people really expecting an apology?
cbrennansports cbrennansports went HAM on lance! good read.
