Is now the time we should stop using athletes as role models?

sir charles barkley 15 years ago stated i don't want to be a role model for any kids. right mow with his t v time. he has turned into a perfect role model. athletes are very overrated as role models. when they get paid more money in 25 seconds than the best surgeon. nobel peace prize winner gets. things are topsy turvey. the only 2 athletes role models. Muhammad ali. kareem abdual jabber. the rest. forget it. i would chose a doctor or world cl violin player. retired pro guy. last played 26 years ago.
