[U Role models are a thing of the past.
Today's sports superstars, singers, actors, and
most other celebrities are unworthy idols for
youth to aspire to.

are they paid far more than their skills merit,
but they often don't behave appropriately.

make sure athletes are not using
performance-enhancing drugs or engaging in
other illicit behavior.
