RE: ADSactly Sports - Heroes? How Much Should We Idolize Professional Athletes?

in #sports6 years ago

Great article! I enjoyed it from top to the bottom!

I think what we do nowadays, we are calling stars our heroes. It's like the word hero lost it's meaning. We are kinda brainwashed by TV and we think that everything happens there.

The fame gets to athletes at a very young age and it corrupts them a bit. Don't get me wrong, there are exceptional professional athletes there, but nowadays most of them think they conquered the world. I think with great power comes great responsibility and if they can impact people, most of all children, then they should take that responsibility.

I hope that children and people will not search for idols and heroes. Firstly they can find that in themselves. Secondly, we must know what are stars and what are heroes, then we can decide rightly.

Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful article! Have a wonderful day!

So well put. The fact that our children believe everything they see on television or the internet to be the truth of the world is kinda scary. We need to teach these kids to be critical thinkers. Great comment!
