Why must you always make me feel old 

That wasn't really the point though. I've heard of Magic Johnson, and the Miracle on Ice, of course OJ, and other things that came before that. It was more noting that Seles probably doesn't rise to the level of other things mentioned because I've heard of them and not of her.

''Twas just a joke.  The Seles thing was wild, dude stabbed her in the back with a fishing knife in front of the entire world

Friends and I were jawboning about the most shocking events in our lifetimes involving athletes (BTW-I'm 65). Here are our top 3 in reverse order:

#3) Magic Johnson press conference announcing his retirement from NBA due to contracting AIDS

#2) Bruce Jenner transitioning to Caitlyn Jenner

#1) The whole Aaron Hernandez saga. From All-Pro TE to murder conviction to suicide in prison.  

Honorable mention to Tiger Woods for multiple marital transgressions made light in a very public way and Kobe Bryant helicopter disaster.

Feel free to add your own.

 

OJ Simpson.  The end.


And when Anna Kournikova turned 40.

USA gymnastics/Nasser case.

OSU wrestling.

PSU football scandal.

Len Bias death.   Ben Wilson.    

Jose Fernandez, Yordano Ventura, Oscar Taveras.   Actually, Puckett and Clemente…

Tyson biting Holyfield.

1972 Olympics.  Russia over US in BB.
