Show I I UINTAH BASIN STANDARD. November oh Football V:W.. vi The 1989-9- 0 Utah ski season has begun, with skiers already hitting the slopes at Brighton ski area, traditionally foe first resort to open in Utah. Action at Brighton began last weekend. Role Model Responsibility always, how much will he or she be getting?" While everyone wonders what salary the athlete will make, the other thing that cones with that contract often is ignored. Thats the responsibility of being a role model. ' Countless professional athletes say, I don't think of myself as a role model," or "I don't want that responsibility." Fm sorry, but its not that easy. Kids have many role models in life, most importantly their parents; but professional spots is such big business today that it seems every kid looks up to the Sessional athlete. All anyone Ks to do is take a ride down to a park to see kids wearing the jersey and number of a favorite football, baseball or basketball player. They are wearing that Jersey be- cause of their admiration for the perfcon who really wears it and their desire to be like that athlete. Players have to realise that if they gat caught doing something wrong, kids who look up to them will be crushed, or worse, think they should do the same things. Whether they like it or not, society places them on a pedestal. Rather than deny their position, athletes should realise their chance to be good examples and positive forces. This is not to say that athletes should be treated any differently than the regular public. They are still human, and those who cannot act decently should be knocked off , the pedestal That's why 1 am at odds with the current NFL drug policy. A football player who gets caught by the league with drugs is given a y suspension for his first offense. Thats not dealing with reality. If he were John Q. Public, hed be thrown in jail for weekend We also have seen foe great things professional athletes can do for the community through programs like the NFLs United Way program. But there is still a lot of roan for involvement What can be done to get more athletes to take their positions as role models more seriously? First, I wish each one would tike that ride down to foe park and look at the kids who look up to them. Professional sports organizations also might take more time toteach rookies about their role in the community. Teams should lay down ground rules for player conduct Athletes must realize that making a bundle of money does not give them the right to uo anything they feel like doing. Professional sports teams and their supporters give these players the opportunity to get a great start on life. They in turn should be responsible to their community. The professional athlete who doesnt believe that he or she is a role model might as well not eat or breathe, because it is inherent in what the athlete is doing.
