re: Shaun King: Peyton Manning's Squeaky Clean Image was Built on Lies

Is it still acceptable to hate both Peyton and Cam?

Personally I really don't think the story is about either of them really. It's more about the image both of them have in the general public's eyes and how that image was cultivated by the media. I mean at least a handful of people in this thread have said they had never heard this story about Peyton, yet I bet every single poster on this site know the story of Cam stealing a laptop. I'd think an incident that can very easily be elevated to sexual assault is a far more serious incident than petty theft. And that doesn't even get into the actions of the Mannings since the incident occurred.


Yet I'm the one accused of having white guilt, whatever the hell that is, for recognizing the discrepancy in how their respective pasts and images are presented. I think they're both jackasses, though both are fun to watch play football.
