I think that anyone that believes that a sports figure is a “hero” is insane.

Dunno about that. A “Sports hero” as a understand it, is one who acts heroic within the arena of athletic competition. Jesse Owens defeating Nazi athletes, Willis Reed limping onto the court against the Lakers, etc. Even someone who has the courage to take the winning shot, or throw the winning pass under pressure. The trouble starts when you extend that to other areas of life. Nike said "If I could be like Mike" even though MJ isn't really the nicest person in the world. Now we're supposed to wear his underapnts too.
