The celebrity of athletes

     I have met a lot of people. I've met singers,actors and comedians, but my least favorite are athletes. On television their presentation comes off as a guy who believes in teamwork and giving back to the community.( Off the cameras they are a complete different person. Athletes tend to make money with endorsements such as, Nike, Gatorade, Reebok, Propel and  TNT and some even model. Some athletes get offered to be in movies, music videos and even do voices for cartoons.There expanding there fame by venturing off into different business. Because their not limiting themselves to just sports, it influence our next generation to go after there dreams because anything is possible and there isn't a limitation on how much you can succeed. I think endorsements helps some of the athletes because it lets people know that there just not a person who throws  footballs or make shoots, they're letting people know they have a voice and other talents.

     I found that a lot athletes get caught up into sex scandals. Tiger Woods was one of the most talked about scandals. Michael Vick was sued for knowingly giving a girl herpes; and when 17 players of the Minnesota Vikings didn't bring there proper bedroom etiquette to a cruise they left condoms, KY jelly,wet wipes, and sex toys for the maid to clean up. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be able to get it on, but just because there athletes doesn't mean they shouldn't get there mess up or they have to be so messy about they whole situation. It always seems as if when they start losing there self control they start losing in the game. Usually, when sex scandals start arising shorty and they're  Public relation person try to clean it up. If  they don't do a good job an announcement will be made that person is resigning or being asked to step down from a position.

   Are they role models?  If its that's genuine good guy we see on television I would say yes.If its that person that gives back to the community and try to make a difference i would differently say yes. Being as though the life as an athlete or any other of celebrity isn't easy most of them fall into the temptations that come along with the industry. I'm NOT saying there not human and shouldn't be entitled to mistakes. When they signed a contract to be in the public eye they should carry themselves accordingly. Its certain responsibility to be upheld. Even though they will be times of them doing things that we may not all agree on

but they should have people around them that they can trust instead having friends take pictures of you doing whatever and posting it on tweeter or Facebook.
