Ok fair enough i'm not a football fan, but i commented on the fact that whilst he was this great bloke in many peoples eyes, he was also an alcoholic wife beater, so why waste good bronze on someone like that?
The alcoholism i can leave alone, because i know many people can fall prey to that for all kinds of reasons, but the wife beating? No excuse.
I also said i hope the paedophile Gary Glitter wouldn't be remembered as a great guy just because he made a few records.
That again upset people.
So like i said, i do see your point here. I don't know a lot about Ted Kennedy, but he's a politician for christs sake, he can't be all good like the media are portraying.
All that said though, whilst i'm not a religious man, he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that jazz.
I've done a few things in my life that i'm not proud of, but i like to think i won't be remembered for those few crap times.
So yeah, maybe it's like you say, it's because WE don't want to be remembered in a bad light.
CX.
