R. Kelly and Michael Jackson continue making news for the wrong reasons.
Musicians, yes. But did they sexually assault children, too? Kelly is looking at a long jail sentence. Jackson was put on trial, found not guilty, and has since passed away. But Jackson’s songs were pulled by multiple radio stations, and ‘The Simpson’s” pulled a Jackson-based episode.
Besides music talent and accusations these two share a love of sports.
Jackson’s preferences were basketball and swimming. He was also trained in karate, earning a black belt in the sport. Kelly’s game is basketball. He played semi-professional basketball for the Atlantic City Seagulls while pursuing his RnB music career. There he won three league championships.
Music and sports aside, child sexual assault allegations/charges have tainted the legacies of these two.

This article is dedicated to the victims of sexual assault. I stand by all of you. We must mute R. Kelly and make sure that he is held accountable for his actions.
