I'm a big sports fan myself, and what bothers me the most is hearing different athletes getting caught in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Trust me, media loves it when they could bash athletes when they make mistakes. Because in their mind, athletes are suppose to be the super human, perfect examples, and the ideal role models and there's absolutely no room for error especially when they make so much millions.
So is it right, fair and just for us fans to criticize them when they make mistakes? By the way when I say mistakes I mean off court actions that they do, not missing a game winning free trow, or taking the wrong shot, or dropping a go-ahead touchdown pass. What i mean by mistakes is having your gun in nightclubs, drinking and driving, illicit affairs, mistresses, and drugs.
Bottom line, we as fans, haters, and supporters watch and idolize different athletes for their exceptional talents that make their sport so much more exciting, but at the end of the day YES we do have every right in my opinion to criticize them as what kind of role model they are. Once they become athletes they also become public figures that hold a certain sense of REPUTATION AND RESPONSIBILITY AS ROLE MODELS! We cant just turn on and off when we want to have them as role models.
I'm ending this post by citing this video Cheers!
