i don't want my kid idolizing any sports figure. Sports figures are humans and they make mistakes just like the factory worker does. everyone gets second and third chances, it's just usually at the expense of the previous job.
Granted I've never worked with high end professional athletes, but I've been around D1 college athletes, minor league baseball players and even superstar teen golfers enough to know that no matter what kind of special gift they bring to their craft, ultimately they are no more perfect outside their respective athletic arena than any of us that watch them.
