They Say...but...I Say This.

Cole James, a senior at Antioch high school wrote a letter of opposition to the writer of an article titled "Pro athletes not being good role models." He felt it was not fair to lable all professional athletes as not adequate role models because of three football players who made wrong decisions. To bring down every professional athlete because of three players is wrong. The writer of the article was creating a false stereotype.
I agree with Cole in his response to the author. In fact, I believe professional athletes in general are great role models for younger people because they can see what hard work and dedication can do.
