SO, you screwed up. You did something that’s regrettable, for which public mood rightly pings against you.
What do you do?
A: Hold a press conference, where you bravely face the cameras and admit you were wrong?
B: Say nothing, but later flick the V’s to the same said cameras?
Lewis Hamilton chose route A. Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor chose route B.
Today, who has rightful respect and an international career – and who may be dumped out of their respective sport altogether?
I don’t know the ins and outs of why Ferguson and McGregor stayed up all night in the bar. I also don’t know why Hamilton and Ryan withheld info to the race stewards.
In fact, in the Hamilton case, I’d wager there’s not a person the world who fully yet understands all that’s going on.
But, in the aftermath, only one person has emerged with his dignity and respect bulging.
And that takes guts.
