Open discussion…
I believe at every level an athlete should do more than the average person. I mean they get paid to “play” a game they love in front of millions of people’s.
My question has always been what can an athlete do to truly impact their community.
Drop a thought.

One of the things I would expect of an athlete is to be able to put the game they play in perspective and to understand what’s really important. This is surely a time to demonstrate that. I also want to see highly-payed professional athletes understand how fortunate they are.

Right understanding what is really important in this world is key. I wish they would do more with their own money for the communities they were born. Young kids need to see how they affect change in other ways than a sport. The athletes in today’s world can do so much more.

I think they should as many people look up to them and are more likely to be listened to compared to politicians, especially by young people. They may not always be spot on but it draws attention to the issue at least.
