Have famous athletes become idols in today’s society?


In today’s episode, Tom examines the many motives behind sports involvement. Is the aim to be a positive role model? To push the limits of the individual? Or is it simply for self-promotion? The answer varies from athlete to athlete. Despite the varying motives, some may contend that, as a society, we've elevated certain renowned athletes to the status of idols.


Tom dives into the happenings of the Super Bowl, the incident between Travis Kelce and Coach Andy Reid on the sideline, as well as the tragedy at the Kansas City Chiefs victory parade. Is there any real value left in the world of sports? Have morals and human decency taken a backseat? Have we created a monster when it comes to sports and fame?
