Sports Stars Speech
Sports stars are role models for most people at some point in their life. Sports stars can be the best role model possible. However, they can also have a severely negative effect on a child or adult. Sports stars are in the public eye twentyfour- seven. For example a soccer star like Steven Gerrard is an exceptional role model compared to Wayne Rooney. Steven Gerrard has always behaved himself on and off the pitch being a good role model to young players trying to become a superstar and household name like Steven Gerrard. He was a loyal player aswell, staying at Liverpool (his childhood club) all the way from when he was 10 to when he was 35 years old. He left when he was 35 because Liverpool did not offer him a new contract. Steven played for LA Galaxy for 2 years and then retired. He has since returned to coach Liverpool U18s team. Through all of this he has maintained an unbelievable profile amongst the public eye. Wayne Rooney who plays now for Everton Football Club played for Manchester United for a bulk of his career becoming extremely successful at the club. However, he did not behave off the pitch. He cheated on his wife multiple times and has just done it again. This is not teaching children growing up how to behave properly. The stars need to be conscious of their decisions when they are in the public eye.
Although these stars do need to be conscious of their decisions while they are in the public eye you could argue that it is their life and they can do what they want and it is not fair that they are being watched every move they make. If Wayne Rooney was just an everyday average person he probably wouldn't have gotten caught cheating on his wife. They do not get to properly enjoy themselves because of the scrutiny that would follow it from the media and all of their fans. This is an example of the fact that sports stars should not be the only role models for kids.
