Ok so even if kids are looking up to Evander Kane and their parents are unable to direct their development in any way, who cares? This guy's great crime is posing with his money. If I had kids I would probably be alright with them looking up to Evander Kane. We can dislike his Instagram photos all we want but the fact is that he makes a lot of money as a reward for working hard at his craft and having a pretty solid NHL career so far. Could he use a dose of humility? Perhaps. I'm just making the argument that no one should be giving him a hard time for not being the perfect role model for kids. Sorry, but being a good role model is not a requirement for pro athletes.
I also hate that I'm now somehow defending Kane because I think he's not that great of a hockey player. But whatever.
