Just as the basketball season gets underway, a face from the past reemerges in the news again. That's right, former Bulls and Pistons standout, Dennis Rodman has screwed up again. The good news for him is he didn't get arrested or at least not yet. Rodman was charged with a speeding ticket while cruising the highway 95 mph in Denver, Colorado. Driving his Lamborghini was a mistake. A cop pulled him over and wrote him the ticket, not impressed at all when approaching his vehicle and realizing exactly who he was dealing with. The police officer had seen his share of dyed-haired, nose-pierced ugly biker dudes and travesites. So Rodman really was no different. "The Worm" as he is known by many was fined and required to pay over $500 in traffic court.
It's amazing how professional athletes choose to spend their money. Conserving money on food and gas isn't really a big concern for rich athletes. It apparently was for Dennis, who stiffed a country store/gas station after filling his car up with $40 worth of gas then driving off without paying. Yes, this is true. How low of a scumbag and cheap do you have to be to do this? It's pathetic when a wealthy, once famous sports star resorts to such tactics. If there was another reason for him not paying, it would be laziness. Now that would be inexcusable for anybody. It's beyond logic though what happened next. Rodman didn't get in any trouble, however since a fan, lacking good judgment spotted him, was informed of the stolen gasoline, and decided to pay the $40. This person actually PAID for that rich bastard's ride home. What an freaking IDIOT! Why in hell didn't someone call the police?? Make Rodman return to that gas station, publicly apologize, and arrest his ass for theft and being so damn cheap!
This story really bothers me. I can't understand how professional athletes or in Rodman's case, washed-up has beens(only good at rebounding and dressing up in drag) take their luxuries in life for granted. He didn't try to check his wallet or even attempt to reach for a credit card, roll of cash, or nothing! This is being unappreciative of fame and fortune. That is why athletes don't need to be paid high salaries. Oh, they'll go through the money like water, buying rolex watches, expensive clothes, $300 sunglasses, fast sports cars, SUVs, heroine, weed, and 50-room mansions. But for God Sakes, don't ask them to pay for fuel or child support because that's too much of an inconvenience. Dennis still has not learned his lesson and it may take several years in prison for some sense to beaten into him.
