My 2 cents
We, football fans, kids whoever need to stop looking at sport athletes as hero's. There are FAR MORE IMPORTANT people in this world than professional athletes. I for one could care less what these guys do as long as it doesn't mess with the integrity of the sport (PEDs). If we all just thought of these guys as entertainers (which they are) then we wouldn't really look at this stuff and freak out. I will try teach my kid to have a hero like his Dad, Mom, Military, etc.
There was a time when you could look up to sport athletes as hero's but these guys are given so much money at a young age that it's hard for them to really Mature and grow up.
Zeke pulls a Justin Timberlake. Notice that Justin Timberlake is huge and the world loves him. Why? Because he's just an entertainer.
I could keep rambling on but I think I got my point out there.
Thats correct, your child should need look no further than his/her parents for role models. It is our job to set an example and show them the way. We are in a sad state if we pass the buck to professional athletes and entertainers.
