[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ugh, are there no pro sports with clean stars?  [b]It's disgusting to me that we have no one for our children to really look up to[/b].[/quote]

I love sports, but if you really think about it, why should our children look up to professional athletes as any type of role models. They are talented entertainers. Nothing more, nothing less.[/quote]

I don't disagree, to be honest.  I also don't disagree they should look up to their parents like another person said.  But, as kids, you tend to watch sports and look for heroes.  My daughter currently loves the US Women's Gymnastics team after watching them at the Olympics.  Actually, that is likely one of the least corrupted sports (drug wise), in addition to tennis (I watched a lot of tennis as a kid - that is a good suggestion).  But, my point is, we tend to look up to/idolize our sports stars, whether it is warranted or not.

It is just sad to find out many years later that what we all believed was a heroic effort was not so heroic afterall.  Those baseball records all have asterisks now, as will this, and many other sports "records."[/quote]
