Who Has Been The Strangest Athlete In History?
~1.3 mins read
The strangest athlete in history, in my humble opinion, is one Mr. Dennis Keith Rodman.
* Rodman has been known for wearing all kinds of "interesting" outfits, but this one stands out in my mind for some reason.
This man is batshit crazy strange, and extraordinarily complicated, but he is also extremely talented. He's a tough nut to crack. Is he just being himself, or is this some attention-getting gimmick? I think it's a little of both.
He reportedly had a troubled childhood and was painfully shy as a child. He supposedly has tons of siblings. He has reported himself to be the oldest of 47 children. Yep, strange.
Rodman was a self-proclaimed "momma's boy" and says he felt the overwhelming female presence when growing up with his mom and two athletically talented sisters Debra and Kim, who both went to become All-American basketball players.
As a freshman in high school, he was only 5′ 6″ (1.6m) and was benched for the whole season on the basketball team. He found it humiliating because his sisters were so good, and by his own admission, he was "unable to hit a layup."
Rodman grew to be 5′11″ (1.8m) by the time he graduated from high school, and after graduation, he worked as an overnight janitor at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
After an unexpected growth spurt, he stood 6′7″ (2.0m) tall. This made him even more self-conscious and uncomfortable with his body.
Fast forward to 1993 when Rodman was sitting alone in his car with a loaded gun in his lap while listening to Pearl Jam. At that time, he said he truly contemplated suicide, and that is had nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with feeling unloved. After that, he decided to be a "bad boy."

What Is Something People Need To Understand? Wild Animals Cannot Be Completely Tamed And Kept As Pets.
~0.7 mins read
There are people who keep wild animals as pets. Some keep lions, tigers,snakes, crocodiles,wolves and so many others as pets in their homes. These wild creatures cannot be completely kept as pets. There are many stories where these animals ended up killing their owners.
The testimony of the “Tiger King†himself, Mike Tyson, a former American professional boxer who at the peak of his reign kept tigers as pets shows why keeping wild animals as pets is a bad idea
I was foolish,†said Tyson, on an Instagram Live with Fat Joe.
“There’s no way you can domesticate these cats 100 percent. No way that’s going to happen. They’ll kill you by accident, especially when you’re playing rough with them, you’re punching them back. They get hyped up, hit you back and you’re dead.
I was doing the wrong shit. I shouldn’t have had them in my house, believing they were domesticated. I was wrong.
