No one said Lance Armstrong was. That last sentence is just stupid by the way. I'm not even getting into this because the points you're making are just dumb.

Whatever. Lance Armstrong is a great story. he overcame cancer and he was very brave in the face of something that most people couldnt handle. And I appreciate the fact that he's served as an inspiration for so many people going through cancer. And that he's donated and raised so much money to fight the disease.

But at the end of the day, as a sports fan, he's just a cyclist and I get sick of people reacting like him winning the Tour De France is bigger than the Super Bowl, World Cup, and Wrestlemania all rolled into one.

It's a bike race, and next year when Lance isn;'t there, it won't get more than a 10 second mention on Sportscenter. Unless an American is winning.

Don't get me wrong, its a cool story and all that but I fall into the category of not giving a shit. Just the way you're spinning the arguement is silly when it could happen when he is British, Spanish, German etc etc.

Way to sneak Wrestlemania in there. If wrestling is a sport than cycling has to be. How often do they show WWE on Sportscenter, btw?
