I for one..am tired of people pretending like professional atheletes are/should be roll models for children.

Maybe it's just the way I was raised..but I didn't grow-up thinking professional atheletes were these super-human-epitome-of-mankind type figures.

I think society likes to asign professional atheletes this moral obligation so that we feel better about them being paid 1,000,000,000,000 to kick/throw/run with/hit/pass/shoot/etc a ball..

I agree with the Stroke here.. Adu has no moral obligation to us until you/we lobby somebody to put "Moral Conscience" into contracts. And..like I said..I don't care that much.
