He was a man they made a meme. In 2010, 2 time champion Rocky Lockridge appears on the TV show intervention. Spent 15 years battling addiction. Included in the episode were the sons he’d left behind. Deep into the heart wrenching discussion, a stoic front shatters. It was a cry that bordered on scream. An outpouring of love and rage and shame. The pain of a lifetime of more or less spectacular defeats. It went viral. The cruel laughed at his cathartic cry. For some people, it’s all they know of him. And that is a crying shame.
