They are all a bunch of hypocrites.

1. Don't athletes and coaches make beer ads?

Isn't Miller the "Official Beer of the NFL" or something?

2. Why condemn Phelps when we ought to condemn the laws that brand him a criminal

Simple solution, legalize

3. Joe Namath

Generally regarded as one of the first football "superstars," I remember he got quite a bit of criticism because of his flamboyant nightlife, leading to his nickname "Broadway Joe."



Of course this was during the (waning) days when atheletes were "role models" and we were expected to believe they worked hard, went to bed early, kept shaven and shorn, and avoided women and drugs.

4. Sorry, but beer is a legal product.

But I do agree that they are hypocrites.

5. Cannabis used to be legal too.

Before politicians and giant corporations decided they know better than us and made it illegal for no good reason.

IMO stupid laws are meant to be broken, otherwise they'll never change. My city agrees as simple possession is now considered less than a misdemeanor.

6. I am in agreement with you.. Some states make it illegal

to have oral sex with your partner.. I try to break that one as much as possible. :P
