It seems like most ordinary people hold professional athletes, or celebrities in general, to a higher standard than they hold themselves or their peers to. I think all the people who are making something out of nothing with this deal would do the very same thing in Jackson's shoes. Another example is the Riley Cooper situation; lots of people couldn't figure out why the Eagles' FO resigned a guy who yelled a racial slur...just one incident, while drunk, and there are people who think he should be out of a job for that? Seems a bit unfair, if you ask me.
