In my experience, the more you get paid, the fewer morals you have. True in every walk of life.

everyone should live life by the highest ethical standards possible. everyone.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Would you clarify what you mean by 'higher standards' please?

When they see the dollar signs they seem to lose all common cents. They must take stupidity classes for the shit they are doing. But then again the morals they live by now starts with their first steps in sports during childhood, coaches, parents, and the media give them such an ego boost that they think that being famous gives them right.

I agree!
We all should be striving to be our best. We all should be striving to SHARE our best!
Be a good example for others .... so that the good cycle continues.
So much can be done in this world, when we do for the good of others.
So .... NFLers and all professional athletes who are role models are no different than the role models of teachers, neighbours, coaches, tutors, religious members .....
Be Your Best for all the right reasons!

I am not sure about " higher standards" . Higher standards than what?
The standards " normal " working joes are held too?
I think everyone should hold themselves to the same High Standards.
Treat people with respect, be the best you that you can be, and just typically be a good person.
Whether you make $600000 a year or $60.

Its only in recent times/decades that professional athletes became role models for the way one lives their lives. I don't think professional athletes are good at this. Their calling or their ability, is to be an athlete. In the early 20th century, professional athletes moral image was much closer to that of being a member of a motorcycle gang, so things have really changed. If you're going to put a lot of moral faith in professional athletes then you're going to be disappointed.
Of course it can be argued that with all the money they make, fame, TV commercial they do, then they should be held to a higher standard. Maybe so with all that, but still I think only a very few of them are up to that challenge.
They are great athletes, not great human beings.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I think ANY person that is in the public"s eye, and that includes professional athletes, actors and actresses and politicians, should be held to a higher standard. Unfortunately, the opposite is often the reality.
