Who do you think is less likely to be forgiven in his sport, Roger Clemens or Chris Webber?

Just to let everyone know who Chris Webber is, he is an NBA player who accepted money and gifts while playing basketball for the University of Michigan. He, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson played for the Michigan Wolverines, known as the Fab Five. While his teammates admitted they accepted money and gifts, Webber would lie to a grand jury and was later charged with several counts of perjury. As a plead bargain to avoid any prison time, prosecutors agreed to drop the remaining charges given that he pleads guilty to one count of federal criminal contempt (a misdemeanor) for lying about his role in the scandal. Webber accepted the plead bargain. As a slap on the wrist, he was fined $100,000 and ordered to complete 330 hours of community service.
