We love to tell stories about the amazing feats of our athletes, and we are also fascinated by them as people. Aristotle discusses the need for a person to be complete, but some professional athletes assert that they should not have the responsibility of being role models. Do we expect too much from athletes? How does our understanding of “off the field” life affect our view of athletic heroes on the field? Does hero worship blind us? Reference at least one of our readings or video from this week when addressing these questions in your initial post.
