Abstract

There's no question we are a country that loves its athletes. We pay them more than our President, we wait in lines for hours to buy tickets, we drag our three-year-olds to soccer practice in hopes of growing a star. But what happens when athletes do become stars--what happens to them, what happens to us? Sports Illustrated and NPR commentator Frank Deford discusses whether we should be a little more selective in choosing who we uphold as model citizens.
