As a society, we idolize people with one special talent, and put them on pedestals and expect their lives to be perfect and set examples for everyone. Why? I always remember Daryl Strawberry - such a talented kid. Let's give him millions of dollars and then be surprised when this kid isn't perfect. We're idiots for expecting so much from our sports figures.
Let's let him sort out his personal life with his wife on his own and move on to something else.

I don't see many people saying that they care what he does or putting him on a pedestal. Most of us have just pointed out that he indeed is human. I'd say the most basic reaction around my office is "nothing real surprising here". Agree that an affair(s) is between the husband and the wife but when you are a 'celebrity' then it (the TMZ's of the world) goes with the territory like it or not.
