I think it's high past time that we stop looking at sports figures and celebrities as anything other than what they are; good at something we're willing to pay money for.
It's not going to stop, but we should stop idolizing these people just because they're talented at something. Some are smart, some are not, but in reality unless it's something in their specialized field, why should we even care what they think?
I admire my neighbour's skill as a woodworker but that doesn't mean I have to listen to his views on anything else.
