Sportspeople should always behave properly as they are role models for society. Discuss. Famous sportspeople are, without a doubt, role models for lots of people, especially many kids that would like to be like them. On the one hand, sportspeople are in the public eye and they should behave correctly, because many people trust them and admire their ways. However, in their private life they can do whatever they want. On the other hand, sportspeople are not our parents. They are not obligated to behave properly because their task is only training and competing. Nevertheless, they should not cheat when they are doing that. As far as I am concerned, I think it would be better if sportspeople behaved properly, because many of them are role models, but they choose.
