A Fallen 'Hero' Now a Jerk?

If you are a sports fan at all, then you know who Herschel Walker is because he was known and recognized for being the most fit and hardest working player in the NFL.  So it shouldn't come as any surprise that the former star running back who turned into a MMA fighter doesn't tolerate cheating In fact, Walker said he thought that Armstrong was a jerk.  He went on to say that "drug use in sports, absolutely insults me. … Lance Armstrong is a jerk.  Marijuana used to be considered so bad. Now states are voting to legalize it. What’s next? Legalizing cocaine?”  I can assure you that Walker is not the only pro athlete that feels strongly against Armstrong's doping.
