The latest issue of Razor magazine (March 2003) had an article about "maverick" individuals. Specifically, it was about 25 who "refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter." David Beckham was one. The only other sport figure was Lance Armstrong. side note: The issue also mentioned actor Costas Mandylor had a promising soccer career (presumably in Greece where he was from) until an injury ended it.
