Parents- do you think athletes & other celebs are morally obligated to be role models?

Nope

these people owe us nothing
Posted on 6/20/18 at 12:16 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
No and we need to stop treating them as such.
Posted on 6/20/18 at 12:16 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
Not at all.
Posted on 6/20/18 at 12:16 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
No. Why is this even a question?

Aren't all adults morally obligated to be role models? Many just fail to live up to those obligations.

Fortunately we have lots of great role models out there

No but they also shouldn’t expect to have a platform every time they want to spew their bullshite opinions.
Most professional athletes are dumber than the general public so I don’t understand how they feel they need to educate the public on politics

Obligated, no. Encourage followers/fans to do the right thing by leveraging their fame, yes.

There is at least $10MM worth of plastic surgery in that picture.

As others define the term "role model?" no. People say Charles Barkley isn't a role model for gambling, for example, but I don't give a shite.

“morally obligated” 
Posted on 6/20/18 at 12:20 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
Hell nah!
Amateur Olympic athletes can be an exception.
And celebs? Role models for how NOT to act.

Yes. Xxxtentacion was a shining beacon of hope for celebrities to mirror.

Absolutely not. They are there to entertain me with their amazing athletic ability. Nothing more

No.
If they want to use their fame in that way, great, but there is no obligation.

Agree. They have no moral obligation to be good role models, but they are role models because we are stupid enough to give them a platform. It’s an uphill battle for parents to teach their children these athletes/celebs aren’t to be idolized or even regarded. The exposure is constant.
