Barred From Tennis, Maria Sharapova Will Do Her Penance At Harvard Business School

Another tragedy befalls a promising young athlete.

Author:

Everything always seemed to be so perfect for Maria Sharapova.

Blessed with athletic talent so potent that she turned pro at 14, and a stunning physical beauty that has made her the face of more ad campaigns than we can count on our fingers, Sharapova became a career grand slam tennis goddess with a future so bright that it seemed almost like a waking dream.

But one failed drug test and a two-year ban from tennis later, Sharapova has apparently been reduced to this.

Not sure how this happened but Hey Harvard! Can't wait to start the program!

She doesn't need to go to b-school (her sense of business is "innate"), but it's on her to do list nevertheless.

On November 6, 2012, as the results of the presidential election rolled in, a member of the Harvard Business School Class of 2010 considered ending it all. "The thought crossed my mind to jump off my penthouse apartment balcony," he wrote his fellow classmates yesterday. Sure, he had a lot to live for: friends, family, the earthly delights afforded to him by living in Southern California ("surfing, mountains, 78 degree sunshine, and hot babes everywhere"), as well as a new company and all that came with it (relationships with celebrities that straddle the line between "friend and service provider," as well as invites to "the VMAs and private concerts in Vegas"). But he also had a lot of reasons to be good and angry at the world, including but not limited to: the state of California being "filled with so many hippie liberals" he just might snap and in doing so "choke out a street bum," people who "sit around with their hand out and expect to be fed," and, most vexingly, the reelection of Barack Obama. And while he did not in fact end up leaping from his penthouse balcony apartment that night, make no mistake, he was and is exceedingly pissed about the direction this country is going, which is south on the Pacific Coast Highway right straight to hell. And whereas the endless stream of bums and hobos and hippies he encounters each and every day the second he steps out of his penthouse apartment probably would take the easy way out, because that's what they do, he's better than that. So instead, he went to bed, got up, sat down at his computer and channeled his anger into something productive: a list of suggestions for how we can get America back on track and in four years, rest it from the hands of the commie holding it hostage, like forcing candidates to use bullet points and telling people who don't believe in capitalism to pack their shit because in 20 minutes a van is coming to ship their non-contributing zero asses off to a country where it's not actually a "privilege" to live. First, though, some life updates, because it really has been too long.
