I don’t really know many athletes except for the “famous” ones because they either rock their sport or because they are in the news for one reason or another. The professional athletes I respect the most are the ones who give to good causes, not because it makes them look better to the press, but because they have the money and want to put it to good use.

Another old post here, but, any athlete that is willing to give to a good cause just because they can earns my respect also!

I don’t look up to any athletes. Even the ones who support charitable causes. Mostly because they do it as a tax break or for positive PR.

You know you are exactly right and that part of it is disappointing.
