Love example those professional athletes set. It does seem that pro athletes live by a different standard than the "rest of us". Part may be because of the power and influence that comes with success on the football field (baseball field, court, etc.) as well as with the money.
But maybe I'm expecting too much for those who are in the limelight to at least ATTEMPT to act like the roll model that they are - regardless of if they want that title or not. Kids DO look to the pros as an example - which really scares me. Children raised in a good Christian home are less likely to be influenced - but not every child has that benefit (and that alone isn't enough to prevent all problems).
I don't think it's about money. Tiger Woods has more $ than all these Viking morons put together. He doesn't go around
acting like a thug. Then again, comparing football and golf
players is probably apples and oranges.
