Guys that were bad humans and either the media swept it away or just never mentioned it

My 4 to start the list

Marvin Harrison shot a guy, possible drug kingpin, and now in HoF and never gets mentioned when discussing criminal athletes

Mickey Mantle cheated on wife(s) multiple driving drunk instances the New York media knew and said ehh

Jason Kidd DUI’s domestic violence with wife and then another abuse case

Floyd Mayweather multiple abuse cases jail time for these

-Ray Lewis


He has to be #1. Participated in a murder, was in a porno, reinvented himself as a leader and everyone's forgotten.

The UFC lets Greg Hardy fight like it's no biggie and he isn't in MMA just because he's too much of a criminal and domestic abuser to play football any more.

Pre-murder OJ would also have ruled this category.

Michael Irvin apparently stabbed a teammate Everett McIver with scissors at a barbershop.

TD hasn't forgotten him, but Craig James has to be on the list.

Babe Ruth


One of his nut huggers, Ford Frick, kept fricking with other players well after Ruth’s death to keep him in the record books even as Maris broke the single season home run record.

Marvin Harrison is a great example because not nearly as many people know about what he has done as they do about Ray Lewis, Mayweather, etc.

Reggie White. He was the pastor for a church in TN that burned down in 1996. He was able to raise $250,000 to rebuild it, but never did. Word on the street is he pocketed the money. Can't find anything out there on what happened to it other than he died 8 years later without rebuilding it.
