I'm very disappointed. Hopefully something good can come out of this. I coach a lot of kids that idolize Michael. This will help them see that he is indeed human and capable of making very bad choices. I hope Michael will realize the far-reaching consequences of his actions and do some heavy duty public service announcements..especially to the MTV crowd. I made the mistake of priding myself on being part of a sport that didn't have young hot shot stars that thought they were above the law. Hopefully Michael will not become one of these. I don't think he will. I do believe he should be treated just like anyone else under the same circumstances..not harsher and not easier. I know some will disagree with me, but look what happened to Martha Stewart. I believe she was treated harsher because of her celebrity status. I hope this doesn't happen to Michael. :(
