I have no idea why anyone would defend the look that Kovacs brought on stage. I like the mass monsters myself, but come on! As a fan, a person has the right to expect more from the athletes. You buy the tickets, support the sponsors by purchasing their products, etc., and you're not supposed to utter a word of complaint if you have a guy like Kovacs up there out of shape? You're not suppose to have a problem with going to a professional show and not seeing a professional performance because you're just a fan, not a competitive bodybuilder and you haven't "paid your dues"? What kind of convuluted logic is that? So, I guess if Derek Jeter decides not to field any balls hit in his direction, the fans at Yankee stadium should just shut up, because Jeter has paid his dues? Yeah, sure. The fans pay the bills. I'll say it again. All he has to do is eat, sleep, shit, and train. People have the right to expect him to look like a pro when he steps on stage every 5 years.
