Lance vs. MJ

I watched that Lance Armstrong documentary on ESPN, and I gotta say, this guy does not come across as a sympathetic character. I kept waiting for the moment when I would understand him or respect his actions, but he consistently acted cold, unemotional, and unlikable. Even his apologies didn't really feel like apologies. If news came out that Lance Armstrong was a brutal serial killer who dismembered his victims and ate their pieces, that would be the least surprising thing ever.
Contrast that with the recent Michael Jordan documentary, where I sort of already liked the guy but ended up basically falling in love with him. And even if the content was heavily influenced by Jordan himself, he comes across as a fallible human being, with believable intentions behind some of his less-than-positive actions, and actual human emotions.
It's hard to dislike Michael Jordan. Lance Armstrong, on the other hand, might be a sociopath. #sports
