My favorites are those athletes (most doing good, a few not so much) that allow their play to speak and keep their private life oh…private.

A simple law of averages says with the amount of athletes out there, there will be screw ups. We always talk about the screw ups because they are not the norm, while you look at the rest of the athletes on one team who are living a perfectly normal life.

Professional athletes are not paid for their talents as role models. They probably have some “can’t be a crook” clause, but they are paid for the field prowess, nothing more. The fact that the majority of them are role models (or at least project/protect the image) speaks to them as humans and business people. Do not evaluate them for not being what they never were.

There are a lot of great role models, but there are just as many athletes setting the WRONG example. While this is a problem in all sports, I just don’t understand why the NFL doesn’t hold firm on punishments (oh, wait…money).

Thank you for the comment and I also responded to your comment about the Tweet Drive in DC!
