Sports stars, whether we like it or not, are role models for our kids. People who are cruel to animals are not the people I want my kids imitating.
Sports players get too much leeway, just because they play sports. It's not anymore ok for them to use drugs, or cheat, or break the law in any other way than it is for anyone else to. I think they should be held to the same standards that everyone else in the world is held to. I'm glad he lost his commercial contracts. When it starts affecting their money, people take notice.

I fully agree with you, Lady Sidhe.
But, I would also like to have parents help their kids put "stars" of any kind, in perspective. They are not heroes. They are athletes or actors or musicians or whatever, but not heroes, and not necessarily worth emulating. |
