Have you ever met a sports hero?

It really bothers me when I often hear "NFL, NBA, NHL, etc" heroes. I think real heroes are made by life experiences and not passions for certain sports.

    I don't believe that sports players are "heroes." That's just nonsense. They're just a group of beefy, sweaty guys who get paid a crapload of money to run around looking like fools and catch/kick/throw a ball.
