That's where I kind of have the problem. See it's fine to push an Olympian who are on some levels national heros, but the media have to keep it in perspective. I'm a HUGE Andre Ward fan, but these Bay Area newspapers are talking about him like he's the second coming of Jesus Christ and the best boxer in the world. Not quite. And it's the media's job more then anyone to keep these people in check, and it's not really happening in boxing because the mainstream media is so out of touch with the sport.
