So is it me or is anyone else fed up with hearing news about Alex Rodriguez and Madonna? Seriously. I find it upsetting that the media is promoting this relationship like it's some sort of Christmas gift to the world.
A-Rod was married for almost all of 6 years. His ex-wife just gave birth to his child months ago. And during that marriage he also had no problem dating (call it what it is, sex with) Madonna. Madonna for her part was married for virtually 8 years. So both of them are adulterers. Isn't that a positive image to be showboating to kids.
Now I realize I could have spoken about this earlier. But I hoped that some in the media would have the good taste to denounce this and make a point of refusing to cover it. But ratings trump the concept of marital fidelity it seems. Gossip is more important than respect and a touch of decency.
The very least Alex Rodriguez and Madonna could have done is be quiet about this whole thing. Both of them owed that to their ex-spouses and their children. But in a world where marriages are more a form of extended dating than a commitment lasting a lifetime, I should not be surprised.
Yes both of these 2 are now divorced. Good for them. But the damage is done. To their kids and to all those youths that followed the gossip columns, ESPN, Entertainment whatever and so on. Just one more example of people with too much money and too little respect doing whatever they please, screw everyone else.
I'm just waiting for whenever one of these 2 gets caught with yet another person. Given their promiscuous pasts it's just a matter of time before it happens. The only real sad part is that their kids have to grow up with the world reminding them of just how loose their parent is.
Until then, I wouldn't mind if the major media kept they current tryst off the screens.
