A person should be able to live their life the way they want to without anybody telling them how they should live. If they want to go out and party at clubs they should be able to. They should realize that everything that they do is being followed by the public. They should act however they want without being criticized by people they don't even know, but they are criticized by people they have never met. That doesn't seem fair to them. They just want to make a living and support themselves and their families. They are almost forced to take on the part of being a role model that people look up to even if they don't want to be. So should they be role models?
They break laws and use drugs, or steroids, but people still look up to them. They gamble and spend a lot of money like it is nothing. Are these the people that we want to be like? Are these the people that we want kids to grow up and be? We want to be like them, we don't actually want to be them. We would like to think we wouldn't do those things, but probably would to some extent. Athletes are the way they are because of the way they grew up. A lot of athletes had tough childhoods but overcame them to be where they are now. Some of those athletes are the kind of people that you want your kid to be like. Some of those athletes are the opposite of want tou want your kid to be. Why are they idolized? They are idolized because they can do something that you wish you were able to do.
