I read the most recent article posted (linked here) about AS and has anyone else been bothered by some of the articles leading off with AS's past problems (brushes with the law, prison time, etc...)? When they made mention in one of the articles about the child support issues and AS being a 'no show' at the hearing, wasn't he already under the cement at that time? IMO, it almost feels as though the press is vilifying AS when he was in fact a victim of DM and perhaps several other people?
I find the mention of AS "squandering" his winnings almost offensive. By all accounts, he gave away a great deal of money and IMO, that doesn't qualify as "squandering"? By helping people who asked him for money, is that considered "squandering"? He bought himself a house, a couple of cars (I think?) and a Rolex. Hardly extravagant spending in my opinion.
I'm curious as to how all of you feel when you read the articles?
As usual, all the above is jmo.
That is simply awful and we should write a letter to the writer of that article!!!! Was it only ONE article? (Sorry I didn't see a link to the actual story). If you will kindly provide info so I can locate the story, I am most sure that I will agree with you. It sounds HORRIBLE!! And NO, he didn't squander his money. Sure, he may have had brushes with the law, but from the sound of it, he had a really good heart and helped ALOT of people. I can't believe they'd imply all that. :loser:
