Should we expect professional athletes to be role models or should we judge them by their athletic abilities?

            I think we should expect professional athletes to be role models. When a child sees a professional athlete acting inappropriate I think that the athlete should be punished. I think this because kids might see that behavior and think it is okay but it is really not good behavior. SO yes I think we should judge the professional athlete as being a role model and if they are good at the sport they play it makes all the better.
