Tsk, tsk.
 
A sports columnist the other day, criticizing Mary Decker's 
recent behavior (regarding her fall in the Olympic 3000 meter), 
said the runner could no longer be thought of as "America's Sweetheart".
 
I say, if it takes such behavior to get rid oneself of a demeaning and 
patronizing label, then rave on, Mary Decker!!!
 
(Can you imagine the press referring to Carl Lewis as America's Sweetheart?)
