And yes I agree with you as well. Athletes are people who should act professionally. That is on them. And let the media lambaste them for their unprofessional behavior. When they act unprofessionally it is on me to remind myself, my sons and anyone that may turn to me for advice that LeBron or any other athlete is not a role model. I think the media is off base when it says that LeBron has a responsibility to all the kids out there who look up to him. If you look up to an athlete you are going to be disappointed. I guarantee that. Therefore be sure that you choose appropriate role models for yourself and your children. That is my point. By the way - interesting blog, I will check it out again in the future! ef Thanks for checking out my blog.
