Role Models Poem by cooper lee

professional athletes
Im not here to call any of them out
I'm here to spread awareness about them
The role models of today's generation
doing Drugs?
Assaulting people?
These so called “role models”
Are really not role models
If there doing drugs or assaulting people
These professional athletes
mean lots to
Their teams, fans and their families
and they can control themselves to not disappoint
but they disappoint everyone around them
but most importantly themselves
when they do these things that gets them suspended
I only have one question
Why?
They are paid millions for their athleticism
But is that all franchises are paying for?
or are they also paying for the players self control?
so they can rely on them on the field pause
instead of worrying when there off the field
the players choose this path
nobody else does
If that's
drugs or assault
or
self control and dignity
but it's their choice nobody else’s
