Hey, Armstrong is neither the first nor one of the few to regain a life
after cancer. Partly, it's because it was his balls that were affected,
that he gets extra attention - gets us all goose-pimply. He's also not the
only one to rise even higher, resolute after a cure. But he makes the play
with that, 'cause "It's not about the bike". He is also far from one of the
many who spend great gobs of time with those afflicted with cancer, daily,
weekly, on call, all the time. So get over it, and maybe he will, too.
As to Jan Ullrich, the talent being a curse is a bathetic way of portraying
this guy. He has a character trait that keeps him behind. Watch him attack
(when ?). See him pay such close attention to Armstrong, and none to
himself. He does not have the confidence to ride his own race, to use his
talent. Not a curse, but an unfulfilled potential, and lots of people are
that way. But he's a star, and we want to have a pat slogan to hang on him.
Not to mention (but I will) that there are plenty of people who can do great
things with little natural talent, and the genetic freaks that outdo us are
not good subjects of idolatry. They just got the genes and did good stuff
with them.
Do you write ad copy ?
