Chiefs Role model?

I was somewhat surprised to hear Todd Haley call himself a role model in the pressers last week. Considering his sidelines behavior, I would not consider him to be a role, "roll" model. The guy has 5 kids and is no doubt a good provider, but hardly a role model.

Uhhh...if you have kids, have influence, are in the public eye, etc....you ARE a role model, regardless of whether you wish it to be true or not. Now, you can debate whether Haley's a good role model or a bad role model, but the fact that he's a role model is not in question. This thread is a FAIL based on a flawed premise.

There once was a guy named Haley
Who's ethics were a little shadey
With 22 guys off the street
He could easily be beat
By a team full of 12 year old young ladies.

By my definiton a role model is someone you would aspire to be or act like. I would not want my children to see me shouting obcentities, screaming at grown men and lying at a press conference.

Now in the world of professional sports entertainment, that may be accepted as the norm. I suppose in NASCAR that type of thing may be the norm.

Perhaps we should blame the media for the distruction of role models. I understand folks like Babe Ruth while no angels were the role models of the time, before intense media attention.
