The point is, they are both only games.   Clemens is looked at with disdain and his accomplishments are negated because he enhanced his skills. Michael Vick excelled at his game and his accomplishments are negated because of his experiences with dogfighting.   Pete Rose excelled at his game and his accomplishments are negated because he had a gambling problem.

When Rose, Vick and Clemens pass on - I would bet good money that their obits will be filled with their transgressions off the field of play.   Fischer, who did not have a private problem, is remembered with fondness and his anti-semitism is buried as nearly a side-bar item.

The are simply games. They brought joy to millions whether they used their body or their mind. I find it very curious how they are judged when they cash in their chips.
