The article "Give Lance another chance?" by CNN is about a bunch of people from CNN talking about if Lance Armstrong deserve to be forgiving for what he did. For taking steroids and cheating while cycling. Some people say he should be forgiving because everybody took steroids and cheated. Some people say no he shouldn't because he kept lying to America about him not taking steroids.
In the article Kevin Powell says we all have are falls. He stated "We all have our flaws, we all fall short as human beings. So, yes, I do think anyone can be redeemed, and should be given another chance if he shows true remorse and make amends for his bad deeds." This means that Kevin Powell think that Lance Armstrong should be forgiving because everybody is not perfect or flawless. In the article Roxanne Jones says he's not trustworthy. She stated "Lance Armstrong, who maliciously lied for more than a decade, who I watched from my sideline seat in sports try to crush the voice of anyone who dared to call him a cheater. No, he gets no second chance from me." This means that she don't want to forgive Lance Armstrong for his lying and cheating.
If you ask me, I would forgive him. Everybody lie and cheat in cycling. Also, Lance Armstrong did a lot for America. He did a lot for charities.
If Lance Armstrong would of said he did do steroids and cheated the first time the reporters ask him; would people follow his charities and support him like people been doing?
Good summary, but would like to hear more about your opinion and any connection you might have. Do you think it's a problem that there is so much cheating in sports? Have you ever lost because someone else cheated? Have you ever cheated to get ahead? 80
