I agree somewhat with Charles Barkley. These guys should _not_ be role models for on field activity.
Vick is a very talented athlete, and a dog abuser. That might make him a very good quarterback. But maybe not a good teammate. And certainly not a role model. Warrick Dunn, on the other hand, is a good guy and a great player. Roger Staubach was a great player and great role model. As is David Robinson. Most of the rest are just normal human beans, with flaws and joys and admirable qualities. We need a better take on what exactly we admire in people as a society.
