We need our sporting heros and we need them to be fallible and demonstrate that greatness is built upon doing that little extra to win over and above a timid reliance upon skill or some nonsense that wining comes from being decent.
And when one tries to judge a professional sportsman remember that they must cope in a world where they were never permitted to grow up and develop to do adult things and in effect were doomed the remain children with no real life experience indeed kept from reality by carers who pushed and encouraged them to believe that playing a game was the pinnacle of human achievement.
Imagine their distorted little worlds and how such an environment would drive one to various efforts to maintain attention from those original carers and now the wider group of carers we call the public.
How else but have a sook would you deal with problems given these folk never really got to grow up and found themselves always playing games and requiring outside attention as the only meaning in their unfortunate lives.
