Yeah, we all know that sports stars should set a good example for the kiddies. But, at the same time, we allow the kiddies to emulate bad guys in the movies and—more recently—video games.
And while crime may not pay in real life, how many secretly reveled in the misadventures of Bonnie and Clyde or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, secretly wishing that crime WOULD “pay” out in the end?
While Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers were the perennial “good guys” (you could tell by the white hats and cleanly shaven faces), was it Clint Eastwood who ushered in the era of the antihero?
Okay, so you don’t like any of these guys in this starter poll?! No one here you even love to hate?
Well, write in your candidate, my man, my lady! And tell us why. I’d give out CP’s to the best responses, but we don’t have such a thing in this new land… so we’ll just have to leave it up to the final votes!
Again, what I’ve tossed out as potential candidates is just a ”starter poll,” barely scratching the surface in terms of renegade sports stars/outlaws out there!
