The Effect of Black Pro-Athletes on the Black Community
[ send me this paper ]
(11 pp.)It does not take a rocket scientist to acknowledge that sports figures do influence children, and young adults. Whenever we see one of those supposed professionals doing his own "bad-self" thing it makes most of us cringe, as the message that such an attitude gives off is usually immature and egotistical. However, there are many professional athletes who are making an effort to positively influence their home communities. According to Wilstein (1997), "at a time when sports seem maddeningly intertwined with violence, drugs, sex and arrests, a less sensational and more representative truth is often overlooked: Athletes are involved in charities and volunteer programs - working one on one with children, helping the needy, raising funds to fight diseases - more than perhaps any group in society."
