I always figure stuff like that though has to involve some personal interaction that went poorly. Certainly I've had a couple of those that has impacted my perception of players I used to like. Similarly, some of my favorite players are those I've had positive interactions with.
Really we shouldn't conflate good athletes being good people - but its hard to not root for the good guys.
