The Celebrity of Athletes

Micheal was abusing dogs now he playing with them lol how cute!!!!

Hey everyone so this last blog and it's on how athletes are marketing themselves off the field. I don’t know too much about sports but when athletes are trying to shape their image it’s a 50/50 chance between hurting and gaining from it depending on the situation. An example of an athlete that damaged their career was Michael Vic for dog fighting which was animal cruelty. He actually lost all his endorsements that he earned but years later Vic is now again at top player and gaining more money before he committed animal cruelty.
Was Tiger Woods happy or not?
We all Tiger Woods and what he does but when Tiger Woods was caught having an affair it was like the end of the world because the public wasn’t expecting that from him. With him having an affair it actually didn’t break him or make him he still the top golf player and making money that’s all that matter he doesn’t need the endorsements anymore.
Kris Humphrey gained from Kim K. didn’t nobody even know who this man was until he came on the seen with Kim K. Kris has endorsement’s now making more money and I think the whole wedding thing was all phony and a publicity stunt now we all know who he is thanks to Kim lol.
Athletes can be role models but what the people need to understand is that they are human just like we are, they are liable to make mistakes to and it’s okay to no one is perfect out here. I don’t think their celebrity  aspects of their lives interfering with the game not at all because these people understand they can’t mix their personal life with their job and the main two athletes I just mentions are still on top although they had a lot of craziness going on in their life.

  1. I like the Mike pic.
    It's almost like I'm in the audience watching the dog attack.

    And the reference to Tiger Woods is really good as well.
    You picked some swell subject matter.
