Ever since the ancient years, we have admired athletes and the hard work that they do to achieve their goal of winning. We idolize them and wish we were more like them. What happens though when the realization sinks in that they are human too and that some of them do get greedy and selfish? A lot of athletes are model citizens that you should really look up to, but there are also some bad apples in the bunch that ruin it for everyone. Athletes can inspire young people to work hard so that their efforts can pay off, but...
athletes as scapegoats if children are resistant and defiant. Those are responsibilities of the parents. Just because there are some bad people in sports today doesn"t mean that we should generalize. We have had some bad presidents also, but we don"t hate all of them. Some of them work hard to contribute something to us just like professional athletes do. We just have ot remember that they are human just like us and that Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman aren"t gods just because they have a lot of money. They worked hard for it so let them enjoy it.
