I know we have a few, so this is a bad analogy, lol. For those that aren't qualified engineers that design TVs, why should we value their opinions on a TV they do not understand but are simply there to enjoy the quality of the picture? It's the same shit, Nicky Hayden is a product for our consumption, we are fully qualified as consumers of this sport to give an opinion on him just as if we got a shitty TV and wanted to inform other consumers.
Not everyone is a winner, you need field fillers to make things entertaining. Watching 3 guys go around a track would be fucking boring and no one would watch it. Field fillers are there for entertainment as well, they still make money for their companies as well because people like to root for the underdog.

I agree. Thats also why I dont get bent out of shape about the whole steriod gimmick. Fuck it...it's entertainment. What do pro sports really mean? Not a goddamn thing. There's nothign sacred about the game thats needs protecting. Fuck it. Slam a couple of rattlers and get to stepping. Smash some fuckng homers. Throw a 300 yard TD pass. I dont give a fuck. Just dont be boring. Otherwise you gots to go.
