Mayweather Exception

A loophole that protects a very narrow subset of athletes and celebrities from the typical criticism, judgement, backlash most would experience following transgressions such as: racially insensitive or anti-LGBT comments, criminal activity, drug or alcohol abuse, rampant promiscuity, flaunting/squandering of wealth, involvement in altercations, etc. This loophole is granted only to select few individuals who have, over time, built such a negative and illustrious resume of actions, behaviors, statements, etc. that they are seen as too far gone and disconnected, unaffected by backlash, insane or delusional, or not worth attacking Examples include: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Charlie Sheen, Eminem, Lenny Dykstra, Courtney Love (coined by sportswriter/blogger named Jeremy Morris in 2017)
