How Do You Want to be Portrayed as an Athlete?

Over the last couple of weeks we've seen so many different incidents regarding professional and collegiate athletes and their poor behavior. It's extremely unfortunate that these role models are making costly mistakes for themselves, their family, their team, and their university/organization. What I hope is that everyone learns that someone is always watching wherever you are.

Too much of the news over the past few years is all about the bad and that is why I don't like watching the news. What I really want to touch on in this entry is the good deeds that most of these athletes do.

Here is a perfect example:
