FACING RAPE ACCUSATIONS, BEN ROETHLISBERGER LEAVES TOWN FOR GREENER PASTURES Pittsburgh, PA – Being at the top of your game can sometimes be as difficult as being at the bottom. Kings, Presidents, rock stars and matinee icons will all attest to the challenges faced with being at the top. The constant struggle to remain at those heights, the persistent attacks from critics and pretenders to the throne, and the pressure of being so in demand all contribute to the challenges of being the best. While few at the bottom would ever consider not trading places, that doesn’t make the lives of the kings any less difficult. DAVID BECKHAM’S FACE UNAFFECTED BY DEVASTATING INJURY Turku, Finland – Jordan, Manning, Gretzky, Woods. Names all associated with the peak of excellence in their respective sports, names that resonate through the game and fandom as not only some of the greatest players, but also the greatest ambassadors for their sport. None of those names however, no matter how big they might seem to people in the United States, are as big as David Beckham. As the biggest star in the biggest sport in the world, there is little doubt that his name stands above all others as the biggest in sport.

LINDSEY VONN ALREADY REALLY ANNOYING Vancouver, Canada – Over forty years ago Andy Warhol made his oft misquoted statement that ‘In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes’ a statement that while adding a great deal of celebrity to the man himself, has not really come to pass. In some ways Warhol’s statement did have a ring of truth in our current state of instant celebrity and people becoming famous for no apparent reason whatsoever. Thus far however, not everyone has gained, or even sought, that elusive fifteen minutes of fame. A select few however have had more than their share. DANICA PATRICK UNSURPRISINGLY CAUSES MASSIVE CRASH IN NASCAR DEBUT Daytona Beach, FL – Sport has always been a man’s game. Even from the very earliest days in ancient China and Persia, sport has been dominated, if not been exclusive to, men. While philosophers and sportscasters have often tied the activity to warfare it’s not exactly clear if those perceived roots are the reason that so few women have participated in sports until the last century. Nonetheless, the dominance of men in sport and the rise of women is undeniable, and inevitably headed towards a collision between the sexes.
