I believe the media and people in general can sometimes put too much pressure on professional sportsman to be role models. Sure they should be setting a good example "In General" and be encouraging towards up and coming players in giving them advice etc on and off the field. But I believe that when they are not actually competing they like to be doing the things that ordinary people are doing and living as much of a so called "ordinary life" as possible. And when a so called ordinary person get's into a spot of bother no matter how big or small it is. It's just like water under the bridge. No one finds out about it.
A job is a job no matter how much recognition you may get for it from the media. at the end of the day they are just doing their job, they have to make a living out of something.
I hope this helps BF I did enjoy stating my case
