Have finally we stopped tolerating bad role models

In the past year there have been several major rumblings in the world of sports. Several key figures were ousted from their rosters in a move that the world of sports rarely sees. Everywhere from Michael Phelps' fall from grace with a DUI to the banishment of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson with domestic violence issues it seems as though America has finally woken up to the issues our roles models are presenting and we can tell cause companies have stopped paying them.

It is no news that Mayweather just walked away with an one hundred eighty million dollar pay off the other night, but the more interested part is about how he made that money. Believe it or not, Mayweather has actually not had a sponsor behind him since 2009. You can attribute this to a couple of reasons. First off he has had three domestic assault charges thrown against him as well as a lack of apology or even acknowledgement in regards to the matter. To add to the fat he has become one of the most cocky hated fighters around because of the way he acts, however not every athlete has faired as poorly. 

Michael Phelps on the other hand has been able to bounce back from his downfall. First he got caught smoking weed, than a DUI which was closely followed by some quality time in rehab, but after he bounced back and flourished. He started by proposing to his long time girlfriend and quickly moved to become an advocate of a clean life. While Phelps lost countless millions in the endorsements he lost along the way as well as once getting kicked off the US swimming he team he has been able to rally.Who knows we might even be seeing him in the pool again for team US soon, cause who really retires at like 30.
