Vick had a legacy?
Well if you talk about what tarnished a sport the most it would have to be those involved with the baseball steroid scandal but whats happening in Penn State is putting upfront how fucked up alot of these collegiate football programs are! (not saying they are playing with little boys but I think you know what I mean!)
The one man that fucked up his legacy more than anyone else has to be OJ Simpson!

Yeah he is the most overated ex convict Quarterback the NFL has ever had! One hell of a Legacy if you ask me!
No he didn't. He reported it to his authorities immediately which was exactly his obligations under state law.
He literally got away with murder.

I'm on the fence about calling WWE a "sport" but if it is considered a sport, then Chris Benoit would definitely get my vote. He has basically been written out and censored from anything in WWE records/archives, Future generations and fans of the respective sports will know who OJ, Mcguire, Bonds, Paterno, Woods are, in future generations, and even this kid-generation WWE, many won't know who Benoit is unless they seek outside sources aside from WWE. I don't think anything can compare to a double-murder suicide either, OJ maybe, but Benoit took his own son's life, that is really fucked up.
I voted Paterno before I read Benoit just cause Paterno was a legend at Penn State and to fall that hard and to be fired is really a hit to his reputation. That guy was king at that school, now there is so much outrage against him.

I don't believe Tiger should be included in this list with others who have committed heinous acts either.
Tiger Woods.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
The Black Sox cheating scandal is still being discussed inside and outside of sports circles almost a hundred years later. So that's the one I'd go with. Outside of sports geeks, I doubt anybody will know much, if anything, about these other "candidates" a hundred years from now.
this was really tough... before i even saw the choices, i immediately thought of oj, and pete rose. i chose oj just because what he did on the field was amazing. i could go on for quite a while with stats and facts about him... but the fact is ojs problems were well after his career was done, and rose purposely threw a game. oj is in the hall of fame, and rose... well...

The guy probably was the best soccer player in History. Since the argentinian team was average, he won the World Cup 86 almost by himself, scoring one of the greatest goal ever during the final VS England

Napoli was an average team in the Italian League. He made it a challenger for the title and '89 UEFA Cup winner, defeating teams such as Bayern Munchen or Juventus.
Then came drugs, doping, messing with the napolitan mafia, bulimia nervosa, supports to Chavez and Castro, etc...
