I agree with pit. 100%.
I met my uncle for the first time when I was 27. Why? Because he was in prison for 25 yrs for vehicular manslaughter. He killed a family because he was driving under the influence. Do you want to know how long he was out before he started drinking again? A few months. I've watched my father go through so much emotional pain struggling with this. Will I ever forgive him? Give him a second chance? No. Hell no, from the bottom of my heart.
And, I don't care that he's a famous athlete. He could be some random person, and I would still fight against him being on the cover of anything. But, I also think he is a public figure and should behave a little more responsibly. If nothing else, do it for all the young kids who idolize you.
