European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 19, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday August 19, 1988 the stars and stripes commentary wedded ass or swing and a miss athletes wives Are taking a beating. Not to mention athletes girlfriends and Fiancee. Take Brigitte Nielsen you wish. The tall gorgeous blonde who turned on Sylvester Stallone for a year or so is making Mark Gastineau sweat these Days. It s nerve racking enough that the new York jets defensive end and Nielsen announced their engagement last Friday. And that Gastineau has yet to finalize a divorce from his wife Lisa. Now the heat s on Nielsen to explain Why she keeps attending the jets training Camp on Long is land. As if the 90-degree weather does t make for a hot enough atmosphere. If it was me said Tom Baldwin who s after Gastineau s left end Job i w9uldn t want my wife around Camp As much As i miss her. I would think that would be a if you saw Nielsen Glide through Beverly Hill Scop ii you were distracted. Think of her waiting on the sideline for when you re through sacking the quarterback. It would be enough to make you tackle the goal Post instead. Such could be Gastineau s problem. The National football league s former sack King is crumpling into paper sack. He killed the quarterback Only 6 /2 times Over the last two seasons. He has Zero tackles assists or sacks after the jets first two exhibition games. Nielsen s ratings Are taking a Tumble Over that. Ashe watches her body building Beau Rush through the heat of summer Camp jets fans wonder if she s to blame for his sack shutouts. So does the new York press. Bob Raissman of the daily news called the Bod couple a spoiled athlete and his publicity seeking How does Gastineau respond to this Bath the originator of the sack dance spotted the press out Side the jets locker room monday and mumbled faggots As he waltzed by. Nielsen no doubt feels the same Way. So must Robin Givens and Janet Jones. They be been accused by some fans and press of running Bucky Fox Mike Tyson out of the ring and Wayne Gretzky out of Canada. Then there s Margo Adams. She must love the publicity even if it s scornful of trying to Cash in her affair with Wade b9ggs for $6 million. There sox third baseman s wife Deborah has to hate it. Athletes women Aren t stepping Down from the Pedestal. They re being yanked Down. How do you View Robin Givens a Loyal wife Mak ing sure her Iron Mike gets his fair share of boxing millions or a greedy Witch pocketing those millions and Janet Jones a talented actress who wants thereat Gretzky in her los Angeles or a Pushy partner who stole Edmonton s richest Oiler whatever happened to the Good old Days when Joe Dimaggio ran off amid Huzzah with Manly Monroe you mean the bad old Days. Dimaggio and Monroe split faster than he circled the bases and within a decade she killed herself. We grew up believing these sportsmen and Beauty Queens were in a marriage of uninterrupted Bliss. Now no one believes that. Not after Joe Theis Mann dumped his wife and Muhammad a dumped his and Keith Hernandez dumped his. Divorces like those Lead women to watch out. They re flexing their spines before a knife in the Bac leaves them economically crippled. Better to stand by your Man and stand up to your Man. Athletes Are probably happier with a Strong part Ner. Who wants to live with a wimp Jim Mcmahon sure sounded Happy letting his wife Nancy Call the shots during a dinner near Nurnberg a couple of months ago. He respects Nancy to the Point he wrote in his autobiography Idon t have to be in Public getting the Star treatment i Don t care for anyway. I d just As soon be Home where i m Only no. 4 in the household. Behind the kids and Nancy which is How do the news est relationships affect today s stars?1. Tyson Givens. The actress supposedly leads the heavyweight Champion around by the boxing More pulling is Ruth less Roper Givens Mother. She has so much pull that she reportedly gave the of for Tyson s tentative oct. 8 fight with Frank Bruno in this Good for Tyson evidently. He responded to Givens act by smashing Michael Spinks. 2. Gretzky Jones. The great one gave Edmonton four National hockey league titles in five years. Month after marrying Jones he s a los Angeles King with a baby on the Way. Is this Good for Gretzky you bet. Aside from her love and the Kings con tract think of . S commercial chances compared to Edmonton s. 3. Boggs Adams. Yes Adams revelation that shelved with Boggs four years during red sox Road trips embarrassed the perennial batting Champion and his wife. Yes Adams lawsuit caused fights be tween Boston teammates before it was thrown out last week. Is this Good for Boggs again yes. The Guy s hit Ting More than .350 and the sox Are suddenly in the Pennant race. Alimony suits Boston Fine. 4. Chris Evert Andy Mill. This marriage seems Tobe going As smoothly As an Evert forehand. Or a Mill downhill. That s an improvement Over even s first marriage to John Only thing shaky was that just before the july 30 wedding the . Tennis association picked Vert for the olympics bumping a disconsolate Elise Burgin. Evert had earlier declined a berth on the olympic team but maybe Mill who skied in the olympic downhill of 1976, convinced her of the games Golden this Good for Evert yes. In her first tournament since the wedding Evert beat Gabriela Sabatini in the final of the Virginia slims of los Angeles. That s a beating that gave a wife Evert something to cheer with her husband.
