Crack! The top baseball prospect just hit another homerun! He is definitely on a roll now. All of the critics and sports reporters know that he will soon be a Major League Baseball star. He was known around the country as a prodigy. His parents raised him to love baseball and they always knew he would be a star. Well, the premonition is appearing to be true. He has just received his two-hundred millon dollar signing bonus.
Why was talented young man able to become so wealthy? He does not operate on cancer victims. He does not arrest thieves or serial killers. He does not put out dangerous fires. All he does is play a sport. Why does he deserve it?
What a lot of people do not realize is that athletes, and the sports that they play, often have an affect on the people that watch them. Children and teenagers often look up to athletes. Many kids tell themselves, "I want to be like him when I grow up!" For some, their role model is the reason that they play the sport. Therefore, if it were not for the professional athletes, some children may not play sports. If these children are not playing sports, they may be doing other things, and these things may not be good. I, personally, have former teammates who were denied chances to play baseball and, in return, found acceptance in negative places. Maybe if they had a positive role model to look up to, such as an athlete,
this would not have happened.
