Are you kidding me?!
No athlete in the world owes society anything, as others have said. An athlete has one job - to perform. He is not a role model for anything except performance in his chosen event. Everyone (and I mean everyone) has things that they wish that they hadn't done because they're embarrassing later. Some of those things are worse than others and some are more titillating that others, but at the end of the day they're still NOBODY'S FUCKING BUSINESS!

Look at all the endorsements that he used to have Nike, Cadillac, even his own webpage. He now has to reclaim all of it.

Still has Nike, still has the web page. He still makes more money in an hour than 99.5% of Americans do in a year.
Derph, you want to get mad at an athlete that actually did something wrong? Go look up Michael Irvin's record some time. Better yet, look at pretty much the entire Oakland Raiders organization.
