Role Models?

Are professional athletes role models in todays modern society?

Is their too much abuse of drugs or way too many crimes of modern athletes to concider them role models but one could also argue that not all athletes commit bad deeds.

What do you think?

  3. I think it shouldnt be allowed because they are role models for the youth, but is difficult to be a role model if they keep getting in trouble with the law.
