I was thinking about what we talked about and class and I think that it is important that people can seperate the difference between how people act on the playing field and how they act in really life. I also think many people are able to seperate the the good qualities of an athlete from the bad ones and try to act out those good qualities in their own life. I feel that many athletes are viewed as role models but I also feel that this is unfair for some athletes. Athletes dream of being champions not of being role models, and sometimes to accomplish an athletes individual goal you have to act in ways that are not completely agreed on. They arent necassary bad or deviant, but some people might not agree with them. If an athlete has to try and be a role model for everyone and never make a mistake their individual success could suffer.
