I WILL GO WITH THE FACT THAT BEING A PUBLIC FIGURE HAS ITS OWN MERITS AND DEMERITS.WHEN I SAY "PUBLIC FIGURE" IT IMPLIES SOMETHING WHICH PERTAINS TO THE PUBLIC .IN COMMON PARLANCE A POLITICIAN, A SPORTSMAN OR A MOVIESTAR ARE ALL PUBLIC FIGURES. YES WE ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE THEM AND WE ARE THE ONES WHO BREAK THEM. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE A POLITICIAN .NOW A DAYS MOST OF THE COUNTRIES HAVE A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE ,WE CHOOSE WHO WE WANT AND REJECT THOSE WHO WE DON’T WANT .HIS ONUS HIS POSITION DECIDE THE COURSE OF OUR LIVES .WHETHER WE GET GOOD MEDICAL FACILITIES,ROADS,TAX BENEFITS ET AL ALL DEPEND ON HIS DISCRETION SO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE DON’T WATCH WHAT HE IS DOING .WHETHER HE ACTUALLY FITS INTO THE ROLE WE ONCE CHOSE HIM TO FIT INTO.EITHER IT IS HIS PUBLIC LIFE OR PRIVATE LIFE , HIS CONDUCT AND COURSE OF ACTION DOES AFFECT OUR LIVES BECAUSE HE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE TRUST OF THE LAYMAN ,AND HENCE HE STAYS IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
COMING TO SPORTSMEN ,IN A COUNTRY LIKE INDIA ,PEOPLE EAT CRICKET ,DRINK CRICKET AND LIVE CRICKET OR SAY IN A COUNTRY LIKE BRAZIL FOOTBALL IS A RITUAL AND FOOTBALL STARS .PEOPLE DROP OUT OF THEIR OFFICES TO WATCH THEIR FAVORITE TEAM PLAYING .A CHILD IN AN IGNOMINIOUS CORNER OF THE CITY WATCHES HIS ROLE MODEL AND DREAMS OF BECOMING LIKE HIM ONE DAY . FOR AFRICANS REELING UNDER POVERTY ,STARVATION AND AIDS AND STRIVING FOR THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD THE OLYMPICS IS THE TO AT LEAST SHOWCASE THEIR TALENT .OR THE ATHELETES FROM THE WAR SEETHING COUNTRIES OF THE ONCE UPON A TIME USSR WHO MAKE THEIR MARK IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS ,THY ARE THE BEACON OF HOPE FOR ONE AND ALL .
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE SPENT EVERYYEAR ,FOR EVERYEVENT ON ADVERTISING SO THAT THEY CAN SELL THEIR PRODUCT IF A FAMOUS ATHELETE LIKE RONALDO ENDORSES IT .WHY ??BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR ROLE MODELS .IN THE MORIBUND OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVES WE ACTUALLY LOOK UP TO THESE PEOPLE FOR INSPIRATION ,CHANGE AND LIFE .IT IS OUR RIGHT TO DO THAT AND IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE A PARADIGM OF PERFECTION .
